Sleep is vital to our health and well-being. Here are a few reminders on how to get a good night’s sleep:
- Keep a regular sleep and wake time.
- Be physically active, but not too close to bedtime.
- If you drink caffeine, avoid it 6 hours before bedtime.
- Manage stress.
- Don't go to bed too hungry or too full.
- Create a calming bedroom that is comfortable for you.
