Better sleep tips
Here are some helpful tips to help you sleep better.
Exercise at the right time—regular exercise can help boost sleep, but intense workouts too close to bedtime may increase the body’s stress levels and make it harder for sleep to come.
Take naps as needed—even 15-minute ones can help your body feel more rested. But don’t hit the sack for a nap within three hours of bedtime or you could disturb your body’s inner clock.
Limit caffeine intake in the afternoon —for some people, it can take as long as seven hours to break down half of one cup of coffee, so think twice before you order that venti white chocolate mocha latte at 5 p.m.
Keep it cool, but not Arctic—the National Sleep Foundation recommends keeping room temperatures between 54 and 75°F. Core body temperature must decrease in order for your body to fall asleep.
