- Prioritize the quality of your sleep. It is as essential as your exercise routine or a healthy meal.
- Find your perfect balance. Not all of us require eight hours sleep a night; work out the level of rest you need.
- Keep to a regular routine. Going to bed at the same time each night will program your body for sleep.
- Invest in a good bed. A truly comfortable bed will provide deep, reviving sleep every night.
- Give yourself space. Buy the biggest bed your room can accommodate so that you can luxuriate in an undisturbed night’s rest.
- Spend time in the daylight. The sun lets your brain know it’s time to be awake, while the switch to darkness at night prompts a feeling of sleepiness.
- Be active and engaged. Physical and mental exercise during the day will help you to sleep better at night.
- Ease down your evenings. Too much stimulation before bed – from alcohol, nicotine, caffeine or activity, can stop you from sleeping.
- Unwind your way. A relaxed body and mind will prepare you for sleep. Find a bedtime routine that helps you to unwind easily.
- Create the right atmosphere. Darkness, quiet and the ideal temperature help you to fall and stay asleep.
