But really, how can I sleep better tonight?

11:19 AM | Posted by Corporate Wellness | | Edit Post
No one likes tossing and turning and feeling exhausted all of the time.  Well, some people might---we just haven't met them yet.  This month, focus on sleep as a priority.  Its impact on your health may be larger than you think.  






What can I do to really get a good nights rest?


  • Make sleep a priority.  Plan ahead so you can shoot for 7-8 hours a night.
  • Be a kid again and have a bed time.  
  • Prepare your room.  Remove distractions and create an environment where you can feel calm and relaxed.
  • Take time to wind down.  Use activities like reading or taking a bath rather than watching TV, which can be stimulating.  
  • Spend time in the sun! 
  • Exercise!  Sleep quality improves and most fall asleep faster.  (However, avoid exercising within 3 hours of your bedtime).
