š“ Is Insomnia Common When Following the New You Plan?
Some people may notice occasional trouble sleeping or changes to their sleep patterns during the early stages of the plan. This is a normal response as your body adjusts to new eating habits and nutritional changes.
The good news is that this is usually temporary, and there are simple steps you can take to help your body and mind relax into a better sleep routine.
š Try Relaxation Techniques
Creating a calm evening routine can make a big difference to your sleep quality. You could try:
- Taking a warm bath before bed helps your body unwind
- Adding a few drops of lavender essential oil to your pillow for a calming scent
- Switching off screens and enjoying quiet time at least 30 minutes before sleep
š„ Understand the Role of Diet
Changes in your eating routine, especially the reduction of carbohydrates, can temporarily affect your sleep. This is because certain nutrients play a role in supporting relaxation and sleep.
ā As your body adjusts, your sleep patterns should begin to settle naturally.
š§ Support a Balanced Routine
To encourage restful sleep, try to maintain a consistent daily routine. Staying hydrated, moving your body during the day, and winding down properly in the evening can all contribute to better rest.
š Be Patient with Your Body
Sleep disruptions are often short-term and part of your adjustment period. Your body is working hard behind the scenes, and with time, your energy levels and sleep quality are likely to improve.
