Emslies Pharmacy In Perth Understands The Importance Of A Good Nights Sleep

Life can be busy and hectic and we rarely get a chance to switch off, with our phones, tablets and laptops following us everywhere we go!  It can be tough juggling work, family, pets, hobbies, friends and other responsibilities and it can be hard getting the right amount of sleep needed to properly recharge our batteries. Not getting a good nights sleep can lead to low energy levels and higher levels of stress.  Difficulty sleeping is a common problem amongst Australians, and at Emslies Floreat Pharmacy, we see many people presenting with this complaint.  Common sleeping problems such as insomnia can actually be caused by bad sleep habits that have been reinforced over many years. If you are experiencing difficulty sleeping, speak to one of our experienced Pharmacists at Emslies Pharmacy in Perth about it.  They can recommend some simple techniques to help you improve your sleep habits and may also suggest trying a pharmacy product.

Sleep Hygiene

There are some simple steps that can be taken to improve sleep. Sleep hygiene refers to habits that will help you get a good nights sleep and can include:

1. Making sure your sleeping environment is comfortable

To ensure a good nights sleep, you must make sure that your bed and bedroom are comfortable and relaxing.  Make sure your bedroom is dark and at a comfortable temperature. Invest in a good, comfortable mattress and make sure noise is kept to a minimum.

2. Listen to your body clock

Your body’s sleep-wake cycle is controlled by your internal body clock.  This body clock tells you when you’re tired and when you want to wake up!  It is important to listen to your body clock and stay in a regular sleep routine. Ideally, you should wake up at the same time each day and go to bed at a similar time each night.

3. Relieve your stress

Don’t go to bed when you’re feeling worried or stressed.  If you are feeling stressed, try some relaxation exercises before going to bed.  Things that you can do to help relieve stress include meditation, listening to relaxing music or having a bath.

4.  Other simple things to improve sleep include:

Products that may help

At Emslies Pharmacy in Perth, we supply a range of products and services that may help improve your sleep.  Speak to one of our friendly Pharmacists to find out more about the products we stock.  One of the products that we compound in the Pharmacy is melatonin. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone found in most animals, including humans. Circulating levels vary in a daily cycle, and melatonin is important in the regulation of the circadian rhythms of several biological functions including sleep. The use of melatonin as a drug can synchronize the circadian clock to environmental cycles and can have beneficial effects for treatment of certain insomnias.
