Some Tips on How to Get a Good Night Rest:
We spend up to a third of our lives snoozing for a reason. Not getting enough sleep can result in potentially severe cognitive deficits in processing speed, attention, memory and reasoning.
- Don’t nap after 3PM.
- Go to bed at the first wave of evening fatigue.
- Keep consistent sleep and wake times.
- Avoid caffeine (including chocolate) late in the day/evening.
- Ramp down physical and intellectual activity before bed.
- Exercise regularly.
- Quit smoking (nicotine is a stimulant).
- Make your bedroom as dark and quiet as possible.
- Don’t work in bed.
- Don’t eat 2 hours before sleeping.
- Reduce alcohol consumption (lowers quality of sleep).
- Meditate.
