7 Tips to a Better Sleep
You're not doomed to toss and turn every night.
Consider simple tips for better sleep, from setting a sleep schedule to
including physical activity in your daily routine.
-
Stick to a sleep schedule - Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Being consistent reinforces your body's sleep-wake cycle and helps promote better sleep at night.
-
Pay attention to what you eat and drink - Don't go to bed either hungry or stuffed. Your discomfort might keep you up.
-
Create a bedtime ritual - Do the same things each night to tell your body it's time to wind down.
- Get comfortable - Create a room that's ideal for sleeping. Often this means cool, dark and quiet.
- Limit daytime
naps - Long daytime naps can interfere with nighttime sleep —
especially if you're struggling with insomnia or poor sleep quality at night. If
you choose to nap during the day, limit yourself to about 10 to 30 minutes and
make it during the midafternoon.
-
Include physical activity in your daily routine - Regular physical activity can promote better sleep, helping you to fall asleep faster and to enjoy deeper sleep. Timing is important, though. If you exercise too close to bedtime, you might be too energized to fall asleep.
-
Manage stress - When you have too much to do — and too much to think about — your sleep is likely to suffer. To help restore peace to your life, consider healthy ways to manage stress. Start with the basics, such as getting organized, setting priorities and delegating tasks.
Know when to contact your doctor -
Nearly everyone has an occasional sleepless night, but if you
often have trouble sleeping, contact your doctor. Identifying and treating any
underlying causes can help you get the better sleep you deserve.
