It is crucial that
an individual gets good nights sleep. In order to do so, good
bedtime habits must be formed. Follow these tips to help you feel
and sleep better:
» Go to bed and
get up at the same time everyday
» Exercise on a regular
basis, but finish at least 4 hours before you sleep
» Before you sleep, keep
your bedroom cool, quiet and dark
» Try to avoid taking naps
during the day
» If you cannot fall asleep
within 25 minutes, get out of bed and perform an
activity that relaxes you. Perform this activity outside of your
bedroom
» Avoid any sort of caffeine
at least 6 hours before bedtime
» Use your bed only for
sleeping. Do not perform any other activities, such
as reading, playing cards or talking on the phone
» Do not go try to sleep
when your stomach is too full or you are hungry
» Avoid any source of
nicotine before bed
» If you have a sleeping
partner, ask if he/she notices any snoring, pauses
of breath or legs movements during sleep. These are key indications that
you may have a sleep disorder.
