The weather is getting colder, don't do these 5 things when you get up at night

It’s cold at night in winter, and it’s easy for people to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but sometimes they just can’t fall asleep. In fact, getting up in the middle of the night will not affect your sleep. As long as you use the correct method, you can fall asleep again quickly.

1. Do not turn on the headlights

If the light suddenly becomes very bright, both the mental and physical state will immediately be "turned on". When getting up at night, the lighting should be kept to a minimum, which will not only make it easier for people to fall asleep again, but also will not disturb those who are sleeping.

You can put a small table lamp next to the bed, or turn on a wall lamp. It is important to note that these lights must be easy to reach and turn on, such as using touch-sensitive switches, otherwise consciousness will become clear when searching for the switch or applying force.

2. Do not drink cold water or beverages

Autumn and winter are very dry, and the throat will become very dry when sleeping. In addition, due to sweating at night, when you get up at night, you will not only feel the urge to urinate, but your throat will also feel very thirsty.

At this time, you should avoid drinking cold water or beverages, it is best to drink warm water. Because the coolness can wake people up immediately, and delicious drinks can also awaken people's consciousness.

3. Don’t let your feet get cold

If you get up at night and walk barefoot on the floor, or return to bed without covering yourself with a blanket, leaving your feet exposed, your legs and feet will easily catch cold, making it more difficult to fall asleep.

Therefore, be sure to wear shoes when you get up at night. People who have the habit of getting up at night can also put on socks before going to bed.

4. Can’t tell the time

Checking the time when getting up at night will make people more anxious, and the double pressure of falling asleep again and the remaining sleep time will cause psychological barriers.

Therefore, as long as the alarm clock does not ring, don’t look at the time. This way, you can fall asleep smoothly even if there is only half an hour left before getting up.

5. You can’t hold the phone

Some people go back to bed and habitually pick up their phones to check their Weibo, text messages, etc. Before they know it, time has passed and they feel completely refreshed.

It is recommended that you keep your phone away from you when you go to bed, or simply turn it off.
