Doctor: washing the face with warm water will help relax before sleep.
Doctor Vicente Mera warned that sleeping less than six hours a day for 10 years reduces life expectancy by one year. In an interview with the publication 20minutos, he revealed the ideal evening ritual to combat insomnia.
According to Mera, the ritual should begin at least one hour before sleep and consists of several stages. First, it is necessary to turn off smartphones, televisions, tablets, and other electronic devices, he noted. Second, it is advisable to dim the lights and ensure silence.
According to the doctor, taking a warm shower and washing the face with warm water will also help to relax. Additionally, Mera recommended spending time on meditation and mindful breathing techniques. In conclusion, he reminded that it is important to go to bed and wake up at the same time, not only on weekdays but also on weekends.
