Secrets To Good Night’s Sleep: 5 Tips From Fitness Coach
GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP – Here are five (5) tips for a good night’s sleep from fitness coach Culver Padilla.
According to studies, a restful night’s sleep should last eight hours. However, it can be difficult to get enough sleep in that allotted period of time due to the demands of modern life.
According to fitness coach Culver Padilla, it is possible by following some wise and useful advice before going to bed. Philstar.com had an exclusive interview with Padilla at the Awaken Fitness Center in Metrowalk, Pasig City.
Culver Padilla getting enough sleep is her top recommendation for staying healthy. “My number one tip for being healthy is having enough sleep,” he said.
According to Padilla, often known by his students as Coach Kel, a good night’s sleep is essential for the body to properly rest. Coach Kel noted that while eight hours may be good, it also depends on that person.
The coach, whose fitness philosophy frequently emphasizes consistency in habit, rather than the intensity of the exercise or routines performed, said: “Seven hours is good enough while nine hours is the longest time of sleep one can do. But what the body knows is consistency. So sometimes, for some people, six hours is good enough.”
Coach Kel shared how he gets a restful night’s sleep:
1.No coffee after 11:00 a.m.
I apologize to coffee addicts, but the coach claimed he doesn’t consume it after lunch. He also admitted that he takes it black.
“If you’re using coffee for energy boost, what we do here (Awaken) is breath work. There are a lot of breath work practices that can elevate your energy too, not just by reaching for the coffee,” Padilla advised.
2. No gadgets two hours before bedtime
This should go without saying because using electronics while in bed stimulates the mind and interferes with sleep.
“It’s very intentional. You are doing this because you want good sleep,” said Coach Kel.
3. Make your space at least 18 degrees Celsius cooler and darker.
Not only do some food items need to be stored in a cool, dark place, but it also applies to you, especially at night.
According to Coach Kel, melatonin, a hormone that reacts to darkness, is increased in a dark environment. Your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock) and sleep are supported by melatonin.
4. Pray or create a notebook of gratitude
Coach Kel finds that being aware of himself helps him not just in maintaining concentration on his fitness aim. Iza Calzado, Kyle Echarri, and Ria Atayde’s fitness coach admitted that writing his ideas down is a good way to go to sleep.
5. Take Vitamins
The trainer suggested taking magnesium.
“Magnesium helps you recover well. It helps your muscle be hydrated. It’s an electrolyte. It helps with water retention in your body. Magnesium is the supplement that is really needed by the body but we hardly get it from food that’s why we get it as supplement,” said Padilla.
