My Tips for Sleeping Well!

  • Try not to take naps - this will ensure you will be tired at bedtime.
  • Create a rythm - go to sleep and wake up at the same time everyday (even on weekends) so that your body falls into a regular pattern. (Google “circadian rythm”) 
  • Have sleep rituals - do specific things before bed every night that you associate with bedtime like reading a book or magazine, drinking warm tea or listen to relaxing music
  • Avoid caffeine - caffeine from sodas, coffee and some teas will stimulate your brain and keep you from falling asleep
  • Keep it quiet - don’t have the tv on or other loud noises (unless the subtle sounds are currently helping) as they can keep you from peaceful sleep
  • Shut off technology - bright LED lights mess with your circadian rythm (specifically blue light from things like cell phones and computers)
