Sleep Tips Of The Week

So that we may all have a restful weekend, here are your sleep tips of the week. Have a great weekend everyone!

Don’t drink alcohol or caffeine before bedtime.

Don’t eat three hours before bedtime. You’ll fall off faster.

Hide bright clocks to avoid clock watching. Cover any other lights (such as LED lights on VCR’s).

Make the room as dark as possible—thick window coverings will also keep noise out.

Keep the bedroom cool, ideally between 65 and 72 degrees.

Use a noise machine or soothing CD. A constant, dull drone will soothe the mind and block out any sudden noises. Ever wonder why mother’s run vacuum cleaners to get their babies to fall asleep?

Wind down before bedtime. A pre-bedtime ritual like reading or taking a shower or bath will relax you.

Get into a sleep schedule. Try not to wake your mate if your sleep hours differ.

Use essential oil of lavender on the pillows.

Replace the pillow if you find yourself scrunching it up, folding it in half, or rearranging it through the night.

And of course, shameless plug, using SleepSmart ™ will do the trick!
