How can we sleep better during our period?

If you are one of those people who doesn’t rest well during their period, either because of cramps or because of the worry of staining the mattress, you are not alone! In fact, it happens to 47% of women, so we understand you.

The good news is that there are certain things we can do to reduce discomfort and thus be able to sleep and rest better. Are you ready to have better quality sleep?

Sleep in the correct position!

It may seem like a minor detail, but having your body in the right position when sleeping is key to getting the best rest. The fetal position is one of the most comfortable and effective for reducing abdominal pain because it takes pressure off the abdominal muscles. Use a soft pillow under your belly to help you relax more.

Another position that will be very useful for you is the “child’s pose”, which is highly recommended in yoga because, apart from relaxing, it also gently stretches your back. According to experts, doing it for 5 minutes will guarantee you a more pleasant and deeper rest, similar to 4 hours of sleep.

The heat is your best ally

Our grandmothers were right when they recommended that we put a sock with hot rice on our stomach to combat colic because it is medically proven that this remedy helps relax the muscles of the uterus and promote blood flow, which will gradually relieve the pain.

As an additional tip, you can also use your thermal bag on your feet so that they do not get cold because this makes the pain more intense.

Your resting place is important

Creating a peaceful environment in which you can be calm is essential to calming your mind and body at bedtime. You can start by taking a warm bath before bed to get into the ideal relaxation mood.

Then make sure that the light in your bedroom is dim (if necessary, use curtains to darken the space a little more) and, above all, harmonize with the famous “white noise” so that you can fall asleep faster. In fact, there is a Spotify channel created by Saba® and Clementine that will help you with this relaxation part.

These are hypnotherapy sessions that combat sleepless nights during your period and are available online. free of charge at this link.

Choose a sanitary pad that really protects you

The key to a good night’s sleep is undoubtedly to use a sanitary pad that provides the necessary protection at night, since, according to surveys, 43% of women live in fear of getting dirty and therefore do not have a deep or quality sleep.
