原来不该在睡前刷牙？这辈子第一次听说！（讲解版）｜E0530

▍原文

If you want a good night's sleep, creating a relaxing nighttime routine is a great place to start. 

While brushing your teeth is something we should all be doing, it's best done earlier and not directly before you want to get into bed.

Sleep expert James Wilson explained that nighttime routines should be relaxing and sleep-inducing. Brushing your teeth will actually wake you up, so it will take you longer to fall asleep.
