Tips for Getting Better Sleep

If you have trouble getting enough sleep each night, here are a few practical tips to help you get a good night's sleep.

  • Reduce or eliminate caffeinated drinks. If you must, try to cut off caffeine after 10am.
  • If possible, try to avoid taking naps throughout the day (or keep naps between 10 to 20 minutes at most).
  • Stop eating 2 to 3 hours before going to sleep to prevent digestion from impacting your sleep cycle.
  • Make sure that your room is dark, quiet and at a comfortable temperature for you.
  • Cut off electronics (TV, computer, mobile device) 45 minutes to an hour before going to bed.
  • Get some exercise (even just 20 minutes) throughout the day, but ideally not within 2 to 3 hours of going to sleep.
  • Get into a consistent sleep schedule to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day.
