Keep Regular Hours
Keep your biological clock in sync by going to bed at the same time each night and waking up at the same time each morning - even on weekends.
Develop a Sleep Ritual
Doing the same things each night just before bed cues your body to settle down for the night.
Sleep on a Comfortable, Supportive Mattress and Foundation.
It's difficult to get deep, restful sleep on a sleep set that's too small, too soft, too hard, or too old.
Exercise Regularly
Regular exercise can help to relieve the day's tension - but not too close to bedtime or you may have a hard time falling asleep.
Cut Down on Stimulants
Consuming stimulants, such as caffeine, in the evening interferes with falling asleep and prevents deep sleep.
Don't Smoke
Smokers take longer to fall asleep, awaken more often and experience disrupted, fragmented sleep.
Drink Only in Moderation
Drinking alcohol before bedtime interrupts and fragments sleep.
Unwind Early in the Evening
Try to deal with worries and distractions several hours before going to bed.
Create a Restful Sleep Environment
Sleep in a cool, quiet, dark room on a comfortable, supportive mattress and
foundation.
Make Sleep a Priority
Say "yes" to sleep even when you're tempted to stay up late. You'll thank
yourself in the morning
