Healthy sleep habits can make a big difference in your quality of life. Having healthy sleep habits is often referred to as having good\u00a0sleep hygiene.\u00a0<\/a>Try to keep the following sleep practices on a consistent basis:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stick to a sleep schedule\u00a0of the same bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends.\u00a0<\/strong>This helps to regulate your body’s clock and could help you fall asleep and stay asleep for the night.<\/li>\n
  2. Practice a\u00a0relaxing bedtime ritual.\u00a0<\/strong>A relaxing, routine activity right before bedtime conducted away from bright lights helps separate your sleep time from activities that can cause excitement, stress or anxiety which can make it more difficult to fall asleep, get sound and deep sleep or remain asleep.<\/li>\n
  3. Exercise daily.\u00a0<\/strong>Vigorous exercise is best, but even light exercise is better than no activity. Exercise at any time of day, but not at the expense of your sleep.<\/li>\n
  4. Evaluate your room.\u00a0<\/strong>Design your sleep environment to establish the conditions you need for sleep. Your bedroom should be cool \u2013\u00a0between 60 and 67 degrees.\u00a0Your bedroom should also be free from any noise that can disturb your sleep. Finally, your bedroom should be free from any light. Check your room for noises or other distractions. This includes a bed partner’s sleep disruptions such as snoring. Consider using blackout curtains, eye shades, ear plugs, “white noise” machines, humidifiers, fans and other devices.<\/li>\n
  5. Sleep on a comfortable\u00a0mattress topper<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0pillows.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Make sure your mattress is comfortable and supportive. The one you have been using for years may have exceeded its life expectancy \u2013 about 9 or 10 years for most good quality mattresses. Have comfortable pillows and make the room attractive and inviting for sleep but also free of\u00a0allergens\u00a0<\/a>that might affect you and objects that might cause you to slip or fall if you have to get up during the night:<\/li>\n
  6. Use bright light to help manage your\u00a0circadian rhythms.\u00a0<\/strong>Avoid bright light in the evening and expose yourself to sunlight in the morning. This will keep your circadian rhythms in check.<\/li>\n
  7. Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and heavy meals in the evening.\u00a0<\/strong>Alcohol, cigarettes and\u00a0caffeine\u00a0can disrupt sleep. Eating big or spicy meals can cause discomfort from indigestion that can make it hard to sleep. If you can, avoid eating large meals for two to three hours before bedtime. Try a\u00a0light snack 45 minutes before bed\u00a0if you\u2019re still hungry.<\/li>\n
  8. Wind down.\u00a0<\/strong>Your body needs time to shift into sleep mode, so spend the last hour before bed doing a calming activity such as reading. For some people, using an electronic device such as a laptop can make it hard to fall asleep, because the particular type of light emanating from the screens of these devices is activating to the brain. If you have trouble sleeping,\u00a0avoid electronics before bed\u00a0or in the middle of the night.<\/li>\n
  9. If you can’t sleep, go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel tired.\u00a0<\/strong>It is best to take work materials, computers and televisions out of the sleeping environment.<\/li>\n
  10. If you\u2019re still having trouble sleeping,\u00a0<\/strong>don\u2019t hesitate to speak with your doctor or to\u00a0\u00a0find<\/span>\u00a0a sleep professional.\u00a0You may also benefit from recording your sleep in a\u00a0Sleep Diary\u00a0<\/span>to help you better evaluate common patterns or issues you may see with your sleep or sleeping habits.<\/span>\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
