Improving your sleep
- Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even weekends.
- Getting into bed before you’re truly sleepy is a great way to start worrying, which leads to arousal and difficulty falling asleep.
- Watch out for too much Sleep Hygiene. Don't make going to sleep seem like a lot of effort.
- The final hour before bedtime should be a mellow time that doesn’t involve work or any other goal-oriented activities.
