March 13-19, 2022, Is Sleep Awareness Week!
Let’s take a look at 10 tips for a better night’s sleep:
1. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. This helps set your “clock.” 2. Only use your bed for sleep. Train the brain to recognize that when you are in bed, you should be sleeping. 3. Develop a relaxing bedtime routine. 4. Avoid moderate to vigorous exercise 2-3 hours before bedtime. 5. Avoid caffeinated foods and beverages at least four hours before bedtime. 6. Refrain from drinking alcohol or smoking 3-4 hours before bedtime, as this can lead to insomnia. 7. Create a relaxing environment, avoiding too much light and disturbing noises. Stop using light emitting electronics 30 minutes before bed. 8. Do not rely on prescription or over-the-counter sleeping pills. 9. To reduce heartburn, which can keep you up, avoid eating a large meal or spicy food 2–3 hours before bedtime. 10. Talk to your doctor or health care professional if you are still having trouble sleeping. Inspired by SleepFoundation.org
