Top 5 Sleep Hacks - Dr Julie ad

ad. Most people don’t know about No.1!

If you are not getting good quality sleep on a regular basis, it will be taking its toll on your mental health.

Join me for my two-week sleep challenge. Pick one of the sleep habits listed below and challenge yourself to add it into your routine for two weeks, then let me know how you feel. For anyone else using #GalaxyWatch like me, it can track all of these sleep habits for you and many others. I have been challenging myself to just one morning coffee and getting my dose of natural light in the morning. So far, it’s making a big difference for me. Let me know in the comments which one you are going to try.

- Increase your physical activity during the day but try not to engage in high intensity workouts just before bed.
- Get your dose of natural daylight within the first 30 minutes of waking.
- Practise breath work before bed.
- Ditch the caffeine 6 hours before bed.
- Limit screen time 2 hours before bed.

As part of my own personal mission to improve my sleep, I also wanted to get a detailed view of my sleep quality. I’ve used the #GalaxyWatch to measure different aspects of the quality and duration of my sleep to see how my sleep habits affect it. I was so impressed with it that I chose to partner with @Samsungmobile to share some of these tools that have been so helpful to me. So if you’re serious about getting good quality sleep you can check it out.

1. Buy sunrise alarm. 👍
2. Wear eye mask. 🤔

constant stress and pressure at work disrupt my sleep quality because my head keeps thinking about work even at home

“If you wake up exhausted, I have partnered with Samsung to make an advert”

[AndyOfBelmont]

I wake up with what feels like a broken heart although I'm not heartbroken.

[whoisshereally]

I love these! I have a few more, make sure your room is cool, take a shower before bed, no screens one hour before bed, lip taping, weighted blankets !

I realized that when I drank coffee so I said I have to drink it before 11am because it some how affects my sleep. Glad to know I was on to something.

i noticed a huge difference in my sleep quality by not having my phone (even in plane mode) in the bedroom. Maybe the electromagnetic frequency impact the brain wave lengths, i don't know, but i noticed that by accident after leaving my phone or tablet in the next room before bed and after a few times of that i realized it was the reason i felt so much more rested when waking up in the morning. Not saying people should do it, but just sharing my experience in case some people are interested and want to try.

I cannot get a galaxy watch, but I downloaded a sleep tracker on my phone. I have only used it for 2 nights so far and it has already helped me wake up more alert

[yashomatishinde]

Listening good music while falling asleep also makes you wake up fresh

“If you wake up exhausted, I am a psychologist..”💀

[thecorpsebridelife]

I have a sunrise alarm. It has honestly changed my life in the winter months with the dark mornings. I felt so groggy waking up for work at 6am but now I feel a lot better!

[Satoru_-Gojo]

I was like yeah I should do this …

it’s 3 in the morning rn 😂

[EChaves]

Love your channel ! Use the Galaxy Watch, too, and your 10 minute guided meditation video each night. Thank you ❤

[ingunnhelen]

Great advices! 👍😃

I'm just very surprised you didn't mention anything about how important it is for our circadian rythm to get 20 min of full spectrum light during the 1st hour in the morning. It shuts off the production of melatonin.

[absolutelynot.]

Something that really helps me is just making sure it's consistent. That's it. It doesn't matter if I get 5 hours or 15 hours, if it's the same every night it works.

[goodforyou]

And then, there's me that drink coffee and fall asleep instantly

[TermiteUSA]

Number One, cuddle Dr. Julie whenever possible.

[xyincognito]

What I completely underestimated is: drinking water! I noticed after drinking 2-3l each day for 2-3 weeks straight, I was so much more energised, needed 1h less of sleep and my sleep was amazing. Mind you, normally a 1.5l bottle of water lasts a couple of days for me .

These are great tips if you don't have chronic health conditions that affect sleep
