In this post, I’ll share the most common signs of poor sleep. This way, you can easily assess your sleep quality.
1) Wrinkles on your bed sheet
Do you notice lots of wrinkles or folds on your bedsheets after waking up? That’s probably a sign of poor sleep. How?
Wrinkles suggest that you moved a lot in bed while sleeping. Moving too much on your bedsheet is not a sign of good sleep. It actually shows you’re having trouble sleeping.
To improve your sleep, aim for 7-8 hours daily.
Additionally, it’s also important to prioritize your work-life balance. Don’t let work and stress interfere with your sleep. This article shares the helpful dos and don’ts I use daily to fall asleep faster. Very few people try these to fall asleep faster, do you?
2) You still feel sleepy after waking up
Are you feeling sleepy every day after waking up? My friend, it’s high time to think about healthy sleep. The most common reason found here is not getting enough sleep. Follow the sleep time chart below according to your age and get proper rest.

Note that the above are well-researched, recommended sleep timings. Sleeping greater or lesser than these can make you sleepy all day.
