9 ways to sleep better as a parent:
Every new parent will know, sleep is an important part of your day to day, even if your little one doesn’t feel the same. Yet how can you sleep better as a parent? From the broken sleep, to the best mattress on the market, we’ve got it covered.Of course, easier said than done, but anxiety is often a big cause of sleepless nights for new parents, worrying about their responsibilities now they’ve got a little one to take care of.
According to the experts, it’s also important to ensure you’re not eating dinner too late. Sleep expert Dee Booth adds: ‘it’s tempting to wait until your baby is in bed, but if you can, eat around 7pm and try to be in bed by 9pm at least a few nights a week ’.While sleepless nights are inevitable in the first year, there are ways to lessen the impact.
White noise can be the secret to helping your baby sleep better, but you might also find it soothing too. Try rain falling, or wind through the trees.Sleeping on the right mattress can make all the difference. With plenty of bed-in-a-box options on the market, we tried out a– a foam-core mattress with a memory foam layer. It’s soft, comfortable and great for all types of sleepers – including people who sleep on their backs.
Of course, an extreme lack of sleep can impair your mental capacity, so avoid driving if you feel really tired. If you’re feeling the effects of sleepless nights in the early days with a newborn, ask someone to babysit so you can have a nap. If not, rest as much as you can by snuggling with your baby on the sofa.
