Tips To Get More Sleep
- Change your bedtime to an earlier one.
- Avoid caffeine from mid-afternoon on.
- Create a sleep-friendly bedroom (cool, dark, quiet, and comfortable).
- Take a shower every morning. Its a brilliant, if not scientific, opinion that a hot shower can equal two hours of sleep!
- Nap, especially on the weekends. There is truth to the phrase “catch up on sleep”
- Let the sunlight in during the day. Even if you can’t physically make it outside, having the blinds open to let in the sun can refresh the mind and promote a better night’s sleep.
- Create a worry journal to write your worries down before you sleep.
- Hire help for a few hours after you get home from work to alleviate the “after work” stress.
