Why am i not getting deep sleep?

Ugh, tell me about it! Between exams, assignments, and trying to have a social life, deep sleep feels like a myth. I usually blame my phone addiction and the endless rewatching of web series late at night. Maybe try switching off your phone like an hour before bed? I *should* try it too, lol.

Oh, this is such a common complaint among parents too, my kid used to struggle with this! We found that a consistent bedtime routine, a dark and quiet room, and avoiding heavy meals before sleep made a huge difference. Sometimes even a warm glass of milk helps settle them. Try to create a relaxing ritual for yourself.

Deep sleep is when true rejuvenation happens. If you're not getting enough, your body and mind won't fully rest. Try incorporating simple relaxation techniques like Nadi Shodhana pranayama (alternate nostril breathing) before bed. A calm mind helps achieve deeper sleep. Also, ensure your sleeping environment is truly peaceful.

I used to panic about my deep sleep percentages after seeing my fitness tracker's data! Turns out, small fluctuations are normal. Sometimes it's just stress or eating too close to bedtime. Once I started winding down properly and stopped looking at my phone in bed, my deep sleep improved. Don't stress too much about the numbers first.
