How can I sleep well at night?
Sleep is essential for your brain and body to function productively. Studies have shown that stress and lifestyle have a direct correlation to the quality of sleep. Here are some suggestions for a good night's rest:
1. Establish a bedtime and try to sleep and wake up around the same time
2. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water and reducing caffeine and alcohol intake
3. Exercise and stay active during the day
4. Eat a healthy, balanced diet and try to limit the consumption of foods high in sugar and trans fats a few hours leading up to bedtime
5. Turn off notifications and if possible, keep the phone away from your bed as you prepare to sleep
6. Listening to soothing music, reading a book or any activity that puts you in a good frame of mind for sleep is highly recommended
