\"DIYStay energized with these smart sleep tips from the world’s favorite brothers!<\/h2>\n

It’s always the right time to make quality sleep a top priority so you have the energy to kick your life into high gear. And with these simple tips from Drew and Jonathan Scott, home design experts and hosts of HGTV\u2019s Property Brothers and founders of Scott Living, you\u2019ll have more than enough vim and vigor to keep pace with your hectic schedule.<\/p>\n

Drink up \u2013 all day \u2013 for better quality sleep<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard drinking plenty of water (usually 8 glasses a day), can help your body stay healthy. From relieving headaches to aiding weight loss to helping your brain stay focused, water affects every function our bodies perform during the day. But did you know dehydration can impact the quality of your sleep<\/a>? Of course, trying to hydrate right before bed will work against you\u2026<\/p>\n

Spreading hydration throughout the day takes some practice, according to Jonathan. \u201cStaying hydrated is a skill we have mastered throughout the years. Since we are not coffee drinkers, we rely heavily on water. Water with a lemon wedge is refreshing and has enough flavor to keep it interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Start your day with a glass of lemon water and set reminders to <\/strong>hydrate every hour throughout the day<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prepare to sleep better with calming pre-bedtime habits<\/h2>\n

\"mattressWhether you spend your downtime in active, adventurous or relaxed pursuits, that fresh, rejuvenated feeling won\u2019t last long without adequate sleep<\/a>. Of course, winding down before bed is easier when you prepare your body and mind for rest.<\/p>\n

Jonathan uses his bedtime routine to counteract the frenzied pace of work and travel, \u201cWith such a busy schedule, it\u2019s hard to stay on a consistent sleep plan. Something that helps is creating a calming bedtime routine. Whether that includes reading a book, drawing a bath, having tea or just taking deep breaths, committing to a steady bedtime routine is great for your body and mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Choose <\/strong>bedtime activities<\/strong><\/a> that calm you, establishing a relaxation routine for the end of your day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eat healthy to sleep healthy<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s easy to think of sleep preparation happening in the last hour or so before you close your eyes. In reality, health-aware food choices throughout the whole day will ensure a better night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n

\u201cEating healthy is a conscious effort; however, it doesn\u2019t have to be a chore! If I\u2019m looking for a snack during the day,\u201d says Drew, \u201calmonds are a great go-to and surprisingly filling. For dinner, I\u2019m a huge sushi fan\u2014anything with fish or lean meat is always very satisfying. And it\u2019s okay to say \u201cyes\u201d to dessert every now and then, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

A plentiful, healthy diet gives your body the fuel it needs so you sleep well instead of lying in bed dreaming about a <\/strong>quick snack<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Create a calm, inviting, comfortable place to sleep\"take<\/h2>\n

Have you ever participated in activities that required special equipment or a uniform? You probably had to invest time to research and shop for the right items to meet your needs. The same is true when you\u2019re preparing for sleep\u2014you need to have the \u201cequipment\u201d that works for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has their own personal preference for pillow and mattress firmness,\u201d says Drew. \u201cMy best advice is to go to a store and test out different ranges of firmness and then pick your favorite. The same goes for blankets. If you sleep warm, opt for a lighter comforter versus a heavier duvet.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s easier to get better quality sleep when you feel your <\/strong>bedroom is a sleep sanctuary.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Ban electronics an hour before you plan to sleep<\/h2>\n

Preparing your mind for sleep is essential for a good night\u2019s sleep. But it\u2019s easy to erase your mind-settling work by sinking into bed with a phone or tablet. While electronic screens are a constant companion throughout your day, they can destroy your goal of a good night\u2019s rest.<\/p>\n

Instead of settling into bed with his phone close by, Drew enforces a nightly digital detox. \u201cKeeping electronics out of the bedroom is a great habit to stick to,\u201d he says. \u201cIt helps your mind unwind for the night and allows for uninterrupted sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Choosing to keep <\/strong>electronics out of the bedroom<\/strong><\/a> creates an intentional space for distraction-free sleep.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rest well and wake up ready to go!<\/h2>\n
