Tips For Better Sleep
Get 8 hours of sleep every night
Set and maintain a regular bedtime, seven nights a week
Exercise at least 3 to 5 hours before bedtime or preferably in the mornings
Eat dinner at least 3 hours before bedtime
Avoid consuming alcohol or caffeine at least 3 hours before bedtime
Avoid any activity that gets you wound up before bedtime
Enjoy a relaxing bedtime routine during the hour before bedtime
(i.e. a warm bath, reading, listening to mellow music, meditation, etc.)
Make sure your bedroom is dark
Make sure the temperature setting is right for you
Eliminate any noise distractions or use a white noise machine to block distractions
Have a comfortable sleep space; this includes having your mattress and bedding comfortable enough to suit your needs.
During stressful periods, keep paper and pen at bedside and make a to-do list for the next day
(this gets your thoughts on paper, so you can clear your mind and fall asleep easier)
