When 8 hours aren't enough
Even after 8 hours, you're still tired
Many people wake up feeling groggy even after getting a full 8 hours of sleep. If that’s ever happened to you, you're not alone—and you're not broken. The reason often lies not in how much you sleep, but when you sleep and wake up. To understand this, we need to talk about something called the circadian rhythm.
What is the circadian rythm?
Your circadian rhythm is your body’s internal clock. It runs on a roughly 24-hour cycle and controls when you feel alert and when you feel sleepy. It’s influenced by natural factors like light and darkness, and it affects everything from your energy levels to hormone production.
Think of it like a schedule your body tries to follow every day—telling your brain when to wake up, eat, rest, and sleep.
Choose Compelling Topics
Use analytics tools to understand demographic data and user behavior. Tailor your content to address audience needs and interests, solving their specific problems. Conduct keyword research with tools like Google Keyword Planner or SEMrush. Analyze industry trends and competitors to select relevant and trending topics that improve SEO. Utilize headline analyzers like CoSchedule's Headline Analyzer. Craft titles that are clear, specific, and contain high-ranking keywords. Use power words to increase click-through rates.
Organize Your Content
Implement a clear structure using HTML tags for headings (H1, H2, H3) and lists (<ul>, <ol>). This enhances readability and SEO. Leverage CSS for formatting to improve UX. Embed high-quality images, infographics, charts, and graphs. Use Framer for creating visuals and optimize them with alt text for SEO. Ensure they are mobile-responsive. Place keywords naturally within the content, especially in headings and subheadings. Optimize meta descriptions, image alt texts, and use internal and external links.
Pagination and SEO
Consider adding pagination for extensive content lists, enhancing performance by reducing load times and improving user experience by making large amounts of content more readable and navigable. Additionally, pagination benefits SEO by facilitating easier search engine crawling and reducing bounce rates. By selecting a list of content coming from the blog, you can click the blue plus icon at the bottom to add infinite scrolling or a load more button. If you add pagination with infinite scrolling, try to avoid positioning layouts like pivots and footers below the loading content. This will help minimize layout shifts, thus not harming SEO.
Monitor Performance
Utilize the built-in Framer analytics to track performance metrics and adjust content strategy based on data insights. By combining these best practices with technical best techniques, you can create a blog that not only engages and informs but also performs well in search rankings and user engagement. Happy blogging!
