Lifestyle changes can make a big difference

Waking as much as five or seven times a night is not necessarily a cause for concern. It's more important how you feel 30 minutes after waking in the morning.

Lifestyle changes can make a big difference:

Stop caffeine consumption by 2 pm or 3 pm
Reduce water intake during the day
Alcohol can help you fall asleep but it causes spikes in blood sugar and cortisol levels, disrupting sleep.
A "pro-sleep" bedtime snack or an "anti-inflammatory" diet has been shown to improve sleep apnoea.
