Sleep 101: Tips to Help You Get Your Zzzzs

A recent sleep study was presented stating that healthy adults should be getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night, or at least trying to shoot for the new range of no less than 5 hours and no more than 9 hours of sleep.

But what’s the best way to get ANY hours of sleep?

Here are some sleep tips:

• Set a sleep schedule and stick to it. Even on the weekends.
• Avoid caffeine 4 to 6 hours before bedtime.
• Stop using electronic devices at least an hour before bedtime.
• Ensure a comfortable sleeping temperature.
• If you awaken and can’t fall back to sleep, get out of bed. Read, meditate, or do other quiet activities until you are tired enough to fall back asleep.
