Here's all you need to know about this new trend where people are trying to “fix” their sleep.
Recent studies say that 61 per cent of Indians sleep fewer than six hours at a stretch.
Fewer than eight hours of sleep can cause heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression.
Enter sleepmaxxing, where experts and influencers tell you how to improve your sleep.
The methods include using mouth tape, magnesium oil and sleep trackers.
Mouth tape reduces snoring, and is helpful for those with sleep apnea.
Rubbing magnesium oil on your feet can stop compounds like N-methyl-D-aspartate from hindering your sleep.
Sleep trackers can make a person aware of his or her sleeping habits.
Increasing physical activity and reducing screen time can also improve a person’s sleep.
But critics say that sleepmaxxing can cause sleep perfectionism and lead to orthosomnia.
