3 daily kitchen rituals that make us sleep better
What we do before going to bed in the evening can have a big impact on the quality of our sleep. Why? Because we know that less work is waiting for us the next day. Here are three small rituals that we can do in the evening and contribute to better sleep at night.
1. Rinse dishes
Who goes to bed at night and knows that the next day the whole harness mountain is still waiting for him? and he is not happy about that - he just can not sleep so well. After all, the nasty task that we most like to push before us has to be done. It feels great when we have done the most unattractive tasks. This also helps our sleep, which is guaranteed to be better if we do not dream of harness mountains.
2. Clean up the kitchen
Many people go through the kitchen before going to sleep, wipe the countertop, and put it back where it belongs. All of these things are little rituals that keep order in order to prepare for the next day to review the past day. For some, these "by-the-ways" tasks serve to mentally review the next day's events and make sure everything is on screen. And going around the house and creating order helps to keep your mind in order. And who knows that everything is on the plan for the next day, can focus on one thing at night: rest and sleep.
3. Prepare breakfast
A morning can be quite stressful: getting up, taking a shower, preparing breakfast, preparing children for kindergarten or school, smearing lunch breakfasts. To make it less stressful, it helps to prepare a few things, e.g. breakfast. Of course, cereal and milk can not be mixed and put on the table. But the cereal bowls and cereal can already be put on the table. The lunch boxes for work / school can already be put on the table. Sounds like little things? Yes, maybe, but these little things make us feel that we have already prepared something, that it gets a bit less stressful in the morning - and that makes us sleep more peacefully at night.
