Healthy Sleep Strategies
* Take a hot bath or shower before bed. Doing so will
increase your body's core temperature and help you
relax.
* Do not exercise within four hours of your bedtime.
Mild to moderate exercise between 4 to 7 p.m. will
promote and induce sleep later in the evening.
Exercising too late in the evening, or too intensely,
will make falling asleep more difficult.
* Avoid caffeine. If you insist on daily coffee or sodas,
limit your caffeine intake to the early morning.
Switch to decaffeinated beverages after 10:00 a.m.
* Look at your last ingestion of sugar. Stop use earlier
in the day. Start with noon and then move to earlier
stopping times as needed.
* Avoid using your bed for reading, writing, watching
TV, talking on the phone, using any device, or doing
anything that requires mental alertness. Using your
bed for these types of activities conditions your brain
to react with increased alertness when you try to use
it for actual sleeping.
* If, after 20-30 minutes, you are merely tossing and
turning in bed, get out of your bed, go to another
room, and engage in some type of relaxing activity
(i.e., read, stretch gently, meditate). Go back to bed
only when you feel sleepy.
* Use relaxation strategies. Listen to visualization
tapes, take yourself through progressive relaxation,
take deep breaths, listen to relaxing music.
* Avoid taking naps during the day. Although a
nap feels good when you are tired after a night of
sleeplessness, it only makes the problem worse the
following evening.
* The use of " white noise " can be helpful. White noise
is the sound of a fan, relaxing music played very
softly, or other background noise that allows the
