Deep sleep is the key time when the brain rests and the body recovers.

However, as we get older, face more stress in life, or keep looking at our phones before bed, our deep sleep becomes less and less.

To improve sleep, experts suggest trying these simple methods: First, take deep breaths before bed.

If you still can’t fall asleep after lying down for 20 minutes, get up and leave the bedroom, read a book or listen to music, and go back to bed when you really feel sleepy.

In fact, the standard for judging sleep quality is very simple: if you can wake up naturally in the morning and feel energetic during the day, your sleep is healthy.

It is normal to sleep poorly once in a while, so don’t worry too much.
