Tips For Sleeping Better

Did you know that just about two-thirds of Americans do not get enough sleep? Seems true enough since everyone I practically know lives off of coffee. In reading the January issue of Shape Magazine they have some fantastic tips to getting a better sleep.

Gym Time- Go to the gym in the morning instead of evening. Working out can increase your core temperature, making it hard to doze off.

Cool It Down- Sleeping in a cool room helps your body stay comfortable without freezing or sweating.

Unplug It- Turn off all of your electronics. Although it’s tempting to stay on Pinterest and Facebook all night, turning off your devices will help your anxiety level, making it easy to relax.

Caffeine- Although a lot of people “live” off of caffeine, you may want to rethink that afternoon cup. Did you know that caffeine can stay in your system for up to 12 hours? That means if you turn to that afternoon pick me up, it can keep you awake into the wee hours of the morning.

No Alcohol- Some people rely on a glass of wine or a strong cocktail after work to help unwind. Make sure if you do treat yourself to some wine, it is only one glass and at least three hours before you turn in for the night.
