Sleep Well

-

A calm good night's sleep is essential for our overall well-being and mental health. Unfortunately, many people struggle with sleep, which can harm their physical and emotional health.



Nonetheless, with a few easy modifications to our routine, we can significantly improve the quality of our sleep.

Stick to a Consistent Sleep Schedule

One of the most important things we can do to improve our sleep is to stick to a consistent sleep schedule. This means going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Our bodies thrive on routine, and a consistent sleep schedule can help regulate our sleep-wake cycle, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

Create a Sleep-Conducive Environment

Another critical factor in getting a better night's sleep is creating a sleep-conducive environment. Our bedroom should be cool, dark, and quiet. Invest in comfy bedding and remove any distractions, such as electronic devices, that may interfere with our sleep. A comfortable and relaxing environment can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Practice Relaxation Techniques

Practising relaxation techniques before bed can help us unwind and prepare our bodies for sleep. Activities such as meditation, deep breathing, and gentle stretching can help us relax and improve the quality of our sleep. Incorporating these activities into our nightly routine helps us to wind down and prepare for a better night's sleep.

Avoid Stimulants

Avoiding stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol close to bedtime is also necessary for a better night's sleep. These substances can interfere with our ability to fall asleep and stay asleep, making it harder to get the rest we need. Instead, try drinking a warm cup of caffeine-free tea or taking a warm bath before bed to help you relax.

Limit Screen Time

The blue light emitted by electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers can meddle with our sleep-wake cycle. Try to avoid using these devices for at least an hour before bed, and instead, opt for a relaxing activity such as reading or listening to music. By restricting our screen time, we can improve the quality of our sleep and wake up feeling more rejuvenated.

So, getting a better night's sleep is vital for our overall health and well-being. By adopting healthy sleep habits and making lifestyle changes, such as sticking to a consistent sleep schedule, creating a sleep-conducive environment, rehearsing relaxation techniques, avoiding stimulants, and limiting screen time, you can significantly improve the quality of the sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

Indian Courts and the Summer Vacation: A Need for Reform in Modern Times

-
Image
Currently, the legal system of the sub-continent owes much to British colonization regarding its structure, as it is one of the largest and most complex legal systems worldwide. One of its  special  characteristics is that the legal working hours  are structured   in a way  that many of the courts, especially the apex courts, remain shut for almost two months during the summer holidays. A practice that was perhaps well suited to the colonial period has lately been the subject of criticism in light of the current and growing requirement of the courts and the massive unprocessed case file.  Historical Context  The concept of summer vacations can be attributed to the British rule in India since they  too   followed  the practice. The majority of them were British judges  and  they could not bear the heat of the Indian summer. Hence,  a long vacation was introduced  so they could go back to England or other hill stations in India that offered cooler climates.  This practice was followed  i
