Why Sleep Suffers During Weddings
Weddings are busy with guests, shopping, decorations, rituals, and celebrations.
The first thing to be affected is sleep, often reduced to just 4–5 hours per night.
Sleep deprivation leads to:
Irritability
Fatigue
Poor concentration
General body exhaustion
What is Sleep Banking?
Sleep banking is preparing your body for upcoming sleep loss.
Increase sleep duration in the days before the wedding to “store” rest.
Example: If you normally sleep 7 hours, aim for 8–9 hours per night for 4–7 days before the wedding.
Just like a financial bank, you deposit sleep in advance to withdraw during busy days.
Why Sleep banking is Important
Wedding days involve late nights, early mornings, and nonstop activity.
Sleep banking helps:
Reduce fatigue and irritability.
Boost mood and energy.
Improve concentration and mental performance.
Increase deep sleep, which repairs the body internally.
Pre-wedding extra sleep allows you to enjoy the celebrations fully without being drained.
How to Prepare Your Sleep Bank
Increase sleep 5–7 days before the wedding: Go to bed 1–2 hours earlier than usual.
Aim for 9–10 hours in bed: This ensures enough deep sleep for full recovery.
Reduce screen time at night: Avoid phones, laptops, and tv before bed to let your mind relax.
Keep the room quiet: A calm environment promotes faster and deeper sleep.
Use naps wisely: If the wedding night is short on sleep, take a 20–30 minute nap the next day to refresh.
By planning your sleep just like other wedding preparations, you’ll feel energized, happy, and fully present to enjoy every moment.
