Master your sleep with Shido
Sleep has become a precious commodity – we love it and need it, but rarely get enough of it. Busy schedules, kids, anxiety and technology can all get in the way of a good night's sleep. Getting enough sleep can play an important role in your weight, emotional well-being, blood pressure, diabetes, mental and physical performance, and more. Here's a quick guide to using the Shido App to help you master your sleep:
Nutrition tracking
While a well-balanced diet is key to overall health there are specific elements you can include in your diet to help support your ability to get a good night’s sleep. Using our health tracker to ensure adequate intake of:
- Fibre
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Omega-3
- Zinc
will help to ensure your body is primed for a restful sleep. To further support this ensure to keep tabs on your alcohol, caffeine and sugar intake, all of which can be sleep saboteurs.
Just track your day’s food in the Log Food & Activities section of the app and at the end of the day go to the Nutriscore section and make sure you are hitting your target on the sleep-inducing nutrients you need.
Movement
Even small amounts of exercise have been shown to improve poor sleep. Being more physically active during the day should organically make the body more fatigued and hungry for sleep at the end of the day.
The Shido app is here to support you on your movement journey. Head over to the Fitness area and select a workout to get you moving. You can choose from exercise forms such as:
- Bodyweight
- Cardio & Conditioning
- Hiit
- Pilates
- Yoga
- Weight training
- Shadow boxing
- Resistance bands
- Chair-based workouts
It’s important to do more stimulating forms of exercise earlier in the day as the stimulation so close to bedtime can make it more difficult to sleep. If the only time you can exercise is in the evening opt for low-impact exercises such as yoga, pilates or walking.
Don’t forget that it is also helpful to set goals and track your movement progress. Whether you are a keen walker who is focused on step count or a gym bunny who wants to hit a weekly goal, we can track it. Go to the Log Food & Activities area and choose to track your step count, exercise goals or both. Time to get moving!
Knowledge is power
Paying attention to sleep hygiene is one of the most straightforward ways that you can set yourself up for better sleep. Strong sleep hygiene means having both a bedroom environment and daily routines that promote consistent, uninterrupted sleep. Every sleeper can tailor their sleep hygiene practices to suit their needs. In the process, you can harness positive habits to make it easier to sleep soundly throughout the night and wake up well-rested.
Not sure how to optimise your sleep? Take the time to take control of sleep with our Sleep Better 12-episode podcast series.
Head to the Podcasts section of the app and get started on our Sleep & Relaxation series.
The latest sleep research tells us that consistency is key when it comes to sleep. So head to the Log Food & Activities section to set yourself a sleep goal and make sure to hit your goal as regularly as possible.
Meal plan
Whether it’s a jolt after a cup of coffee or drowsiness after a Sunday roast, most people have personally experienced how food and drinks can affect their energy and alertness. Both diet and sleep are complex, which means there’s no silver bullet or single food that is guaranteed to help with sleep. However, there are some foods and drinks that may make it easier to get a great night’s sleep.
Need some inspo? Go to the Meal Plan section of the app and choose the Sleep & Relaxation Meal Plan. Remember, all our meal plans can be tailored to vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or dairy-free. Bon appetit.
