TIPS FOR A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP

ESTABLISH A SCHEDULE. Your body craves routine. Go to bed at roughly the same time each night and wake at the same time. Even on weekends.

DON’T EAT HEAVY FOODS IN THE EVENING. A bloated belly may keep you from falling asleep.

AVOID CAFFEINE AFTER SUNSET. The stimulant can interfere with your ability to fall asleep. If you are caffeine sensitive, you may find that you have to stop drinking caffeinated beverages (and even chocolate) earlier in the day, around 3 p.m.

AVOID ALCOHOL, TOO. You may think a glass of wine will make you tired, and it may do that, but it may also keep you from getting quality sleep.

TAKE A HOT BATH OR SHOWER BEFORE BED. Because sleep comes as the body’s temperature drops, you can exaggerate the effect by warming your body, then cooling it by lying down under a sheet.

TURN OFF THE TV. Don’t fall asleep to a TV show. And keep your bedroom pitch black. Even the smallest amount of light from a laptop, smartphone, or digital alarm clock can disturb your sleep.

KEEP YOUR BEDROOM COOL AND QUIET. Your body temperature naturally dips at night as part of preparation for sleep. Enhance that effect by turning your thermostat down. If your partner snores or teenagers are watching TV in the living room, drown out the noise with a tabletop fan or a sound machine that produces white noise.
