2017 Biggest Health Trend: Why Should You Try Gwyneth Paltrow’s Clean Sleeping Program?

Last month, Iron Man's Gwyneth Paltrow made headlines when she announced 2017 as the year of "clean sleeping." To many people, this concept is something new although technically, it's almost the same as "clean eating." However, instead of taking "real foods", the body is receiving the rightful amount of sleep it needs.

This year's biggest health trend might be the controversial clean sleeping that means sleeping for at least seven to eight hours, without any interruptions. This healthy trend is advisable for anyone especially for someone who is deprived of having a high quality of sleep each night.

Clean sleeping should be done on a regular basis and in order to have a higher chance of implementing it as a daily routine, the person should have dedication and willingness to do it. As Metro says, "no excuses."

It's no secret how having a poor quality of sleep, especially on consecutive nights, can trigger anxiety, promote a high level of stress, forgetfulness, and even depression. To many, being sleep deprived may not be a big deal, however, it's no secret how it affects health both in physical and mental aspect.

How To Promote Clean Sleeping?

Clean sleeping sounds easier said than done, however, a person can do it easily if he/she makes sleeping a priority. This means dedicating night time dozing off alone and removing other unnecessary habits such as checking the phone to do FaceTime, updating status, etc.

Next is making the bedroom a sanctuary, rather than turning it into an office or entertainment room. As much as possible, make it dark, cozy, and quite. This helps the person to fall asleep faster and deeper.

Another tip for clean sleeping, as per Daily Mail, is by entertaining the active mind with a narrative story, however, it should not be inconsequential to avoid making the mind more active. Instead, it should not be something that would deal with real life concerns, Such stories should be able to provide relaxation and hinder intrusive thoughts.
