All of us want a good night\u2019s sleep during our period but feel like it\u2019s unachievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Read on to know how you can sleep at ease during your period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-s-what-you-can-do\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Here\u2019s what you can do:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-keep-the-temptations-away\" style=\"font-size:15px\">1. Keep the temptations away<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">During your period all you want is to eat all the junk food available but it\u2019s not doing you any favors. Eating heavy food before bedtime can increase your pain during your period and make it harder to sleep. Instead, try eating your dinner earlier, and if you\u2019re hungry later, eat something light like toast or a fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"695\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/wzpnfamxbu85muashdxh-1.jpeg\" alt=\"sleep at ease\" class=\"wp-image-2355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/wzpnfamxbu85muashdxh-1.jpeg 695w, https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/wzpnfamxbu85muashdxh-1-300x169.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-cool-down\" style=\"font-size:15px\">2. Cool down<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Your core temperature rises during your period, making it harder to fall asleep. Sleeping in a cool room could really help! Between 60-67 F is said to be ideal. Taking a lovely warm bath before heading to a cool bedroom can guarantee you the best sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-give-yourself-the-comfort-of-warmth\" style=\"font-size:15px\">3. Give yourself the comfort of warmth<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Your cramps can keep you up at night during periods. Put on a <a href=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/heat-patch-cramp-comfort.html?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=All&amp;utm_campaign=CCBlog\">Nua Cramp Comfort<\/a>, an air-activated heat patch that stays warm for up to 8 hours. Wear in on your underwear and let your body relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.nuawoman.com\/blog\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-stay-away-caffeine\" style=\"font-size:15px\">4. Stay away caffeine!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">During your period, your level of progesterone drops; this hormone is responsible for helping you sleep. So when it drops, so does our sleep! To help this, you can avoid all caffeine during your period. Drinking chamomile tea before bedtime can help you relax and sleep better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/woman-pajamas-tea-1296x728-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"sleep at ease\" class=\"wp-image-2357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/woman-pajamas-tea-1296x728-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/woman-pajamas-tea-1296x728-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/woman-pajamas-tea-1296x728-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/woman-pajamas-tea-1296x728.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-avoiding-those-screens\" style=\"font-size:15px\">5. Avoiding those screens<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">All of us use our phones in bed and think it\u2019s harmless. However, your screen time can severely affect your melatonin levels- the hormone that is responsible for sleep. So by keeping the screens away when it\u2019s time for bed can positively affect your sleep quality!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blue-light-before-sleep-1296x728-feature-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"sleep at ease\" class=\"wp-image-2358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blue-light-before-sleep-1296x728-feature-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blue-light-before-sleep-1296x728-feature-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blue-light-before-sleep-1296x728-feature-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blue-light-before-sleep-1296x728-feature.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Go forth and get that good night\u2019s sleep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">To know other ways of staying comfortable on your period: <a href=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/comfortable-clothing-options-during-your-period\/\" class=\"ek-link\">click here!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When your period comes around it doesn\u2019t just wreak havoc on your mood and give you unbearable period pain, but&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":2354,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":2,"_editorskit_typography_data":[],"_editorskit_blocks_typography":"","_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[211,221],"tags":[356],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2352"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9098,"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352\/revisions\/9098"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
