Relaxing After A Long Day<\/b><\/p>\n
Many New Yorkers often have difficulty sleeping. \u00a0Getting to bed at a decent hour is particularly challenging if you work late hours and need some time to chill out before heading to sleep. \u00a0Even if you do not work late hours, there is still a high probability that you like to hang out with friends or go to the gym after work, and this means that you\u2019re still getting back to your apartment fairly late. \u00a0And even then, it is almost impossible to come home and go straight to bed because you may still feel like you need some \u201cme\u201d time before it is morning again and you\u2019re heading straight back to work. The easiest way to chill out is to grab your phone and scroll through Instagram, or watch something on your laptop \u2013 but these methods aren\u2019t necessarily beneficial to getting a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Can Childhood Bedtime Rituals Work For Adults?<\/b><\/p>\n Think back to when you were a child and preparing for bedtime. \u00a0What kinds of steps did you take to \u201cget ready\u201d for bed? I am assuming that you didn\u2019t just go straight to bed, turn off the lights, and fall asleep. \u00a0It is more likely that you had some sort of \u201cbedtime ritual.\u201d This ritual may have consisted of bathing, consuming a warm glass of milk, listening to a bedtime story read by an adult, and then slowly drifting off to sleep in a relaxed and comforted state. \u00a0We typically shed these bedtime rituals as we enter adolescence. As adults, we often forget to make time to prepare for bed. It\u2019s important, if not necessary, to have some sort of set behavior before going to sleep as an adult. For example, it\u2019s beneficial to disconnect from emails, social media and text messaging at least an hour before entering your bedroom. \u00a0It is also helpful to take a warm shower, have a cup of hot tea, and listen to an adult bedtime story.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Adult Bedtime Stories And Why They Work<\/b><\/p>\n Are you skeptical that adult bedtime stories won\u2019t actually help you sleep? \u00a0For many, childhood represents a carefree time without the stresses that come with being an adult. \u00a0It is possible that revisiting a similar bedtime ritual to the one you had during childhood may remind you of a simpler time, thus eliciting feelings of calm and relaxation. \u00a0According to Hope Bastine, a resident psychologist for sleep technology brand, Simba, \u201cSome of our earliest formed memories involve being cradled by a warm, comforting voice reading us a much-loved bedtime story,\u201d which meant that it was time to wind down, relax and fall asleep<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0Rather than just reading a boring book to help you fall asleep, adult bedtime stories are a newer concept where the story is actually being read <\/span>to<\/span><\/i> you while you listen. \u00a0Not only is the story meant to distract you, but it also relaxes you and prepares your body for rest. \u00a0Furthermore, \u201c[i]f you’re tired, relaxed, and ready for sleep you’re way more likely to fall asleep within a reasonable time each night<\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n How Do I Listen To An Adult Bedtime Story?<\/b><\/p>\n If you\u2019re ready to try your first bedtime story, the meditation app called Calm includes \u201csleep stories,\u201d which are bedtime stories designed for adults. \u00a0\u201cBefore bed, you select a 15- to 45-minute sleep story\u2014which could be about music, travel, or nature\u2014press play, set your device down, and close your eyes. It’s read aloud by a narrator and shuts off automatically at the end so you don\u2019t have to worry about strapping yourself to a sleep-sucking blue light-emitting device<\/a>.\u201d \u00a0<\/span>Moreover, if you sleep with a partner and you\u2019re not interested in listening to a stranger read you a bedtime story, there are also hardcopy books which your partner can read to you. \u00a0For example, <\/span>Bedtime Stories for Grown-ups<\/span><\/i> by Ben Holden, <\/span>are each book that you can purchase on Amazon for a restful night\u2019s sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span> Relaxing After A Long Day Many New Yorkers often have difficulty sleeping. \u00a0Getting to bed at a decent hour is particularly challenging if you work late hours and need some time to chill out before heading to sleep. \u00a0Even if you do not work late…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":63435,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mind"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63434"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63434\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69795,"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63434\/revisions\/69795"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.wellvyl.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
