Tip of the Week

Sleep is a good-health-influencing activity. The amount of sleep needed varies person to person. Older people usually require less sleep then younger children.

Healthy sleeping tips:

*Keep a consistent schedule, go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday.

*Exercise daily, but not right before bed.

*Before retiring, drink a warm glass of milk.

*Take a nice non-brisk, warm shower before bed.

*Only take medications when prescribed to you and only as directed by a physican.

*When retiring to bed, make sure the room is a comfortable temperature (many prefer 60F degrees to 65F degrees.

*Make sure your room is dark and quiet enough to sleep.

*Sleep on a firm mattress.

*Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and other peoples sleeping pills.

*Avoid watching TV in bed.

If sleep escapes you, get up, read, or do a simple chore until tired. Continuing sleeplessness that affects daily routine may be caused by a disorder that requires medical attention.
