14 science-backed tips to recover after a bad night’s sleep
Oura says sunlight, caffeine timing and 10-minute rests can help restore alertness and support better sleep later, citing studies on 14 recovery habits.
- Oura advises avoiding the snooze button to prevent sleep inertia after a poor night. Getting up as soon as the alarm goes off helps your body start its natural wake-up process.
- The average smartphone user receives 46 notifications daily, and research shows each distraction can take up to 23 minutes to overcome. Furthermore, dehydration exacerbates fatigue and brain fog.
- Seeking natural sunlight within 30 minutes of waking helps reset your circadian rhythm. Additionally, time caffeine intake by aiming for 75 to 150mg about 90 minutes after rising.
- Cortisol surges typically occur 20 to 45 minutes after waking, allowing you to prioritize difficult tasks. Alternatively, take a 20-minute power nap or try a 2- to 3-minute cold shower to improve alertness.
- Tonight, set the stage for better rest by sticking to your normal bedtime and avoiding late sugar. Dimming lights two hours prior and avoiding screens helps build sufficient sleep pressure.
