I always remember my mother reading after only a few hours of sleep. Sometimes she couldn’t return to sleep. I wondered why.
Here are a few tips for sleep. How many do you practice?
During the Day
- Keeping regular wake up times
- Exercising and exposure to natural light
- Eating lighter in the late afternoon
- Reducing caffeine
Preparing for Night
- Establishing a routine
- Reducing screen time (phone, electronics)
- Promoting cooler room temperatures
Don’t Give Up
Talk with friends about their “go-to” tips. Ask your health practitioner. Listen to soothing music or calming apps.
