Tips for a Restful Night's Sleep...

At some point in their life, many people will have trouble sleeping. If you often feel tired, discuss your concerns with one of our sleep physicians. Many patients have found these tips helpful:

  1. Be consistent with your sleep seven days a week. Go to bed and get up at the same times every day.
  2. Use the bed only for sleep. Use other areas to watch TV or read if you are not sleepy.
  3. Exercise regularly, but at least six hours before bedtime.
  4. Avoid caffeine at least six hours before sleep. Do not use alcohol to help you sleep.
  5. If you nap, do so for only 20-30 minutes and no later than mid-afternoon.
  6. A light bedtime snack, such as warm milk or cheese may help promote sleep.
  7. Bathing is relaxing. Your body needs two hours after a bath to cool down for optimal sleep.
