We had a great showing for the Brown Bag on Healthy Sleep. Since there a lot of people suffer from sleep problems, I thought I would post some information that was presented.
1. Go to bed and get up at about the same time everyday.
2. Don't eat or drink large amounts before bedtime.
3. Avoid nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol in the evening.
4. Exercise regularly.
5. Make your bedroom cool, quiet, dark and comfortable.
6. Sleep primarily at night.
7. Choose a comfortable mattress and pillow.
8. Start a relaxing bedtime routine.
9. Go to bed when you're tired and turn out the lights.
10. Use sleeping pills only as a last resort.
For more general information about sleep disorders, The National Sleep Foundation, and WebMD have great information and resources.
