- Avoid caffeine and nicotine.
- Do not drink alcohol to help you sleep. It may help you
fall asleep, but it diminishes the quality of sleep you get.
- Exercise regularly, but complete your workout at least
three hours before bedtime.
- Establish a regular relaxing bedtime routine (such as taking
a bath).
- Associate your bed with sleep - do not use it to work or
watch television.
- Naps are a great way to boost energy during the day. A short nap cannot
make up for a lost night of sleep, but a 10 to 20 minute ‘power
nap’ can improve alertness, memory, and briefly reduce the symptoms
of fatigue.
