Get Better Sleep

What you do during the day and your bedroom can have a significant impact on your quality of sleep. Here’s a quick list to help you improve your sleep habits and get a more restful nights sleep!

What Will Hurt Your Sleep

  1. Don’t drink anything with caffeine after 2pm – coffee even 6 hours before bedtime has been show to decrease sleep quality
  2. Don’t take vitamins with B12 in the evening
  3. Don’t drink lots of fluids before bed
  4. Don’t work or watch TV in bed during the day
  5. Don’t eat a large meal before bed
  6. Don’t drink a lot of alcohol before bed. It will initially make you sleepy but can make you wake up more often at night.

What Can Help You Sleep Better

  1. Lower the temperature in your bedroom – 60 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal ( 16 – 20 Celsius)
  2. Track Your Sleep – I really like Fitbits and the Hello Sense
  3. Try a white noise generator (this is my favorite)
  4. Try taking b12 in the morning – it’s been shown to increase melatonin production at night
  5. Reduce your exposure to blue light a few hours before sleeping
  6. Workout more often, but make sure it’s at least 3 hours before bed.
  7. Get out in the sun during the day
  8. Try to set a sleep schedule and stick to it

 

Still not able to sleep? Try a cold compress on your forehead before bed to help your body feel more tired.
