Here’s What You Need For a Good Night’s Sleep Tonight

There is nothing as terrible as waking up in the morning and feeling like you haven’t slept at all. Even the biggest coffee money can buy doesn’t replace a good night’s sleep. Thankfully, Irish entrepreneur Donal O’Conghaile created one simple graphic for his Life Hack Posters project that tells you every sleep hack you need to know, all in one simple place. 


“Preparing for a good night’s sleep doesn’t start at night, which is why the poster begins with key tips to keep in mind throughout your day for a peaceful slumber later on,” O’Conghaile writes on his Life Hack Posters page. “And for those nights you lay awake waiting for your brain to shut off, the poster closes with six proven methods to bring about sleep faster.” 

In case you didn’t know, O’Conghaile reminds you that you should stop drinking caffeine by 5 p.m. each day, that you should use 2 p.m. as a cut-off for daytime naps and that it’s important not to eat or drink right before bed. Using these scientifically proven methods, you’ll be nodding off in no time! And you’ll have this Irish entrepreneur to thank when you wake up refreshed even before your morning latte.
