Dr. Max's Weekly Health Tip
Getting a good night's rest is extremely important to lead a healthy life. The average adult should get 7-9 hours of sleep a night.
You may be thinking..."How do I get seven hours of sleep with work, kids, school etc.?" Well, the good news is that scheduling and organization is a big part of the answer!
Try to start off by creating a schedule that you and your family can stick you. Regulation of sleep, exercise, and eating, is very important to feeling well and energetic.
Another tip is to ensure you are comfortable when you're trying to fall asleep. It isn't only about the bed. Other factors such as lighting, temperature, and ambiance have an effect on sleeping as well. Try to keep your room at a level temperature and dim the lights. Your bedroom is where you sleep, so stick to that rule. Avoid watching television, reading, typing on the computer, or doing other stimulating activities in your bed or in your bedroom. It will be easier to fall asleep in your bed if that is what your mind relates the bedroom to.
Try to create a bedtime ritual. Some ideas may include reading a chapter in your favorite book before going to your bed, take a bath with relaxing scents, or perhaps drink a warm glass of milk or tea.
However you begin to manage your night's sleep, try to make it consistent so that your body feels well rested and then energetic when you wake up!
