Ever since you've got yourself a smartphone, it's become your best friend, especially in the late hours, just before you got to sleep. You may think it's harmless, but sleeping with the phone under your pillow can do significant damage to your health. And while it may seem like you are falling asleep easier with the smartphone by your side, the quality of your sleep is not as good as it should have been. And there are numbers of reasons for that.

First, it's about the content that you are watching which, as we all know it, can be rather disturbing sometimes, especially on social media. As a result, it stirs some heavy emotional reactions that are stopping you from getting a quality sleep. And there are also the lights on your phone as yet another threat to your peace of mind that's necessary if you want to rest properly.

So next time you are in bed, trying to fall asleep, put your phone aside and read a book instead. Trust us; it will do wonders for you.

You might be thinking right now, what's wrong with a nice hot bath after a long and stressful day. Well, there's nothing wrong if you make it less than 20 minutes because everything above is a risk. First, it's a stress for your heart. But if that's not bad enough for you, it's scientifically proven that hot water is making your skin older. And you don't want that, do you?

Like most people, you probably start your mornings by postponing the alarm, believing that is the right way to get enough sleep. But you couldn't have been more wrong. As it turns out, by doing this, you are depriving yourself of any deep sleep, which isn't a great idea at all, unless you want to feel tired and nervous all day. So when the time comes for setting up your alarm, by no means, you should set it up 10 minutes earlier only to postpone it in the morning. Instead, learn to wake up as soon as you hear the alarm, and you'll get that necessary energy boost you desperately need.

19Applying the toothpaste

There is absolutely no need for you to apply the toothpaste all over your toothbrush, covering every single one of its bristles, like it is in the commercials. Instead, let it be the size of the pea, just like the dentists recommend. After all, the whole point of brushing your teeth isn't applying as much toothpaste as you can, it's all about the mechanical process. So you don't need to fill your mouth with toothpaste, you just need a little bit of it to soften the bristles and prevent injuries.
