I enjoy a good night’s sleep. When I awake I can’t wait to get up and get after the day. I have the energy of a five year boy ready to explore the world. According the CDC there are some things we can do to push the odds in our favor to get a good night’s sleep;
- Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature.
- Make the bedroom off limits to electronic devices. I have notifications turned off on my iPhone at 8 p.m. Although I stay up later, I don’t want the distraction.
- Eat earlier so your food is digested and say no to caffeine and alcohol before bedtime.
- A nice walk after dinner will help with digestion, relax you and prep your body for sleep.
