Dallas Medical Courier Myths of Sleep
New York might be the city that never sleeps, but for anyone involved in the medical industry here in North Texas, you know that healthcare never rests. And, as a result, logistics never sleeps either. Our doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers are superheroes, working tirelessly through the night, every night for patients. Medical couriers are also doing their part for the industry that never sleeps.
While you’re sawing logs, Dallas medical couriers are transporting prescriptions, medical supplies, office furniture, and even live organs!
Medical couriers in DFW work 24/7 delivering time and temperature sensitive items to doctors’ offices, pharmacies, and laboratories throughout North Texas. That’s no myth! But when it comes to your health, especially your overnight health, there are many myths that get passed around. We’re here to debunk them!
Myth: Exercising too close to bedtime will keep you awake.
Truth: Studies show that those who exercise before bed don’t have any more trouble falling asleep than when they exercise in the morning. This depends on the person, though. If you notice you have more energy post-workout, you might want to switch your cardio to the AM. Or, you can leave enough time after your workout to relax before bed.
Myth: Checking your phone before bed is a great way to ease your mind.
Truth: Any device emitting blue light should be stopped at least an hour before bedtime. In fact, leaving your phone in a room that isn’t your bedroom is the best way to be sure you aren’t tempted to catch up on your social media accounts before hitting the hay. Instead, turn all electronics off and settle in with a good book.
Myth: You should cuddle up with your pets for a better night’s rest.
Truth: There is mixed evidence about this one. For folks who are anxious and have an emotional support animal, taking your pet to bed with you might be a good idea. For others, though, pets can disrupt sleep by taking up space, moving during the night, or even initiating allergies. Best to get Fido his own bed.
Myth: It’s not a good idea to worry at bedtime.
Truth: If you’re a worrier, worry is coming no matter what! Some psychologists suggest instead of trying to ignore the worrisome thoughts (they’re just going to bubble up later!), keep a worry journal next to your bed. Right down the thoughts that are causing you stress so they’re on paper and off your brain. This can give you direction on how to solve these issues later so you can focus on getting great rest now.
Myth: Falling asleep anywhere, anytime is a sign of a great sleeper.
Fact: If you can fall asleep anywhere, any time of day, you’re probably not getting enough rest to begin with! Excessive daytime sleepiness is usually a sign of a bigger issue such as insomnia, sleep apnea, or circadian rhythm disorders. If you’re having a tough time staying awake during the day, focus on getting quality rest at nighttime on a regular schedule to enforce an accurate circadian rhythm- or sleep-wake cycle.
