When we don’t get enough sleep, we can experience a variety of health problems, including fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

Tips for Good Sleep

Here are some tips for getting a good night’s sleep:

Stick to a regular sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends.
Create a relaxing bedtime routine. Avoid watching TV or using electronic devices in the hour before bed. Instead, read a book, take a warm bath, or listen to calming music.
Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool. Darkness helps your body produce melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep. Silence and cool temperatures also help to create a relaxing environment for sleep.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed. Caffeine and alcohol can interfere with sleep. If you must drink caffeine, do so in the morning and avoid drinking alcohol within four hours of bedtime.
Get regular exercise. Exercise can help you to fall asleep more easily at night. However, avoid exercising too close to bedtime, as this can make it harder to fall asleep.
See a doctor if you have trouble sleeping. If you’re having trouble sleeping despite following these tips, see a doctor. There may be an underlying medical condition that is affecting your sleep.
