Practice good sleep hygiene, to help protect the health of your mind and body. Here are seven practices based on expert advice about getting the sleep you need.
Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day of the week, even on weekends.
Avoid using your phone, laptop, and television at least 30-60 minutes prior to sleeping to limit your exposure to blue light.
Do something relaxing, such as read or meditate, to indicate to your body that it's time to sleep.
The ideal temperature for sleep is about 65°F (18°C), and use curtains or eye masks to block light.
Avoid caffeine after 2 p.m. and avoid any large meals 2-3 hours before sleep.
Nap only when really needed, and try to keep naps to less than 30 minutes, and before 3 p.m. so it won't affect your sleeping later.
Don't work or watch television in your bed. Don't bring distractions to bed and allow your mind to focus only on sleep and intimacy right before sleep.
