After a long day it can be hard not to head straight to bed as soon as you get the chance.
But experts say there are five things you shouldn’t save until the morning.
The first thing you should do before sleeping: take a shower.
It gets rid of the germs and pollutants that your body has accumulated throughout the day.
And while you washing off, go ahead and shave too.
If you cut yourself shaving, your body has all night to repair itself and heal.
The next tip is a little more obvious but it’s still important: nurture your skin by putting on a very heavy moisturizer to replace the moisture that evaporated during the day.
Journaling can also help to get good sleep.
You can clear your mind and have a better night’s rest by writing down your emotions and thoughts.
And finally take a probiotic before bed.
If you take it at bedtime with water, you have all night for the bacteria to get through to the intestines and then in your gut.
Health experts say all of the steps at night can help set you up for a successful next day.
