How Can We Get More Sleep?

Having a regular sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and alcohol before bedtime and removing phones and computers from the bedroom are among the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “sleep hygiene” guidelines. 

Also, sleep experts say:

• sleeping pills and a lot of other things don’t give you as deep of a sleep and we really want the deep sleep because it’s more restorative.
• naps are OK to catch up on missed sleep, but getting a good night’s sleep should make naps unnecessary.
