6 things women must do before going to bed

After a busy day at work, many women can't wait to fall asleep as soon as they get home. However, AiMei.com reminds that no matter how sleepy you are, you should check yourself before going to bed. If you still have these "things" on or around you, you must remove them before you can sleep peacefully.

1. Take off your jewelry

If you wear rings or watches to sleep, your fingers will be swollen when you wake up. Although the symptoms will disappear quickly, they will still affect blood circulation. Some people are in the habit of wearing necklaces to sleep, but they don’t know that these pendants will move back and forth during sleep, increasing the risk of skin damage and suffocation.

2. Take off your contact lenses

Eyes also need to breathe. Contact lenses are "foreign objects" in the eyes. Wearing them for a long time will cause corneal hypoxia and even cause the lenses to adhere to the cornea, causing varying degrees of damage to the cornea such as infection and perforation.

When you sleep, your eyes are closed and the air permeability is poor. If you wear contact lenses to sleep, it will only increase the risk of damaging your eye health. Therefore, even if you take a nap for an hour, it is best to take off your contact lenses first.

3. Take off your bra

Wearing a bra to sleep is not good for blood circulation. The survey found that women who wear bras for more than 12 hours a day are more than 20 times more likely to develop breast cancer than those who wear them for a short time or not at all.

Therefore, not only should you take off your bra before going to bed, but you should also take off your bra immediately after returning home and change into home clothes.

4. Put away your phone

Mobile phone radiation itself will have an impact on the human body, especially when the phone’s battery is low or the signal is weak, the radiation will increase. Using a mobile phone as an alarm clock when sleeping can forcefully wake you up, which is bad for your health.

It is best to place your mobile phone outside the bedroom or at least one meter away from your body when sleeping. Never place it next to or under the pillow.

5. Remove your makeup

If you sleep with makeup on, the residual cosmetics on your skin will easily clog your pores and cause sweat gland secretion disorders. This will not only easily induce acne, but will also damage your skin over time and accelerate skin aging.

People who wear makeup must remove it carefully and wash it off with warm water at about 40℃ before going to sleep.

6. Get rid of moisture

Many office workers go out early and come back late, so they can only wash their hair at night and go to bed before their hair is dry. However, the human body is in a relaxed state after falling asleep, and its resistance will decrease. Wet and cold hair can easily allow moisture to enter the body through the scalp, which is not only not conducive to the blood circulation in the head, but may also cause discomfort such as headaches.

If you must wash your hair at night, be sure to blow-dry it before going to bed.
