Helpful Ways to Get Better Sleep

Restful sleep can help you face the new day with energy and a positive outlook.

Here are some ideas for getting better sleep.

1.  Set aside your smart phone at night.  Don’t take your phone, laptop, or other electronic device to bed.
2.  Have a nightly routine. Avoid alcohol.  Keep a pen and pad of paper on the nightstand to write down something that might pop into your head.  You can pick it up in the morning.
3.  Have a 30 minute nap during the day.
4.  Plan your sleep to account for 90 minute sleep cycles.  Waking up before the end of a sleep cycle will leave you feeling crappy during the day.
