Tips for Better Sleep

Good sleep habits can help improve your sleep health:

Be Consistent: Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends.

Create a Restful Environment: Ensure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature.

Remove Electronics: Keep TVs, computers, and smartphones out of the bedroom.

Avoid Stimulants: Stay away from large meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime.

Get Active: Regular physical activity during the day can help you fall asleep more easily at night.

Focus on Sleep Quality: In addition to getting the recommended seven or more hours of sleep (according to the CDC), sleep quality is crucial for your health. Signs of poor sleep quality include feeling unrested despite enough sleep, waking up frequently, or experiencing symptoms like snoring or gasping for air. If these occur, consider scheduling an appointment with your physician.
