Adequate Sleep
It is normal to have periodic sleep disruptions, especially during a stressful time! Here are 6 Tips to Maximize Sleep from the Mayo Clinic.
Highlights:
1. Aim to sleep between 7-8 hours each night by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day.
2. Be careful what you eat and drink before you go to bed - don’t be too hungry or too full. Caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime also disrupt sleep.
3. Create a calming sleeping environment and routine. Avoid light, including TV screens and consider calming activities like taking a bath or light stretches.
4. Limit daytime naps to 30 minutes and none after 4pm.
5. Exercising during the day can tire your body out, preparing it for a deeper rest.
6. Try to manage worries by getting organized or jotting down worries or to-dos before bed.
