2. No smoking, caffeine or alcohol before bed. 

  • Nicotine and caffeine are stimulants which can interfere with sleep.  
  • Alcohol – although a depressant – interferes with the ability to sleep well.

3. Limit TV and other “screen time” before going to bed.  

  • The light from these devices can confuse our bodies’ sleep signals, interfering with the ability to fall asleep and sleep well.

4. Get regular exercise! 

  • Using up restless energy and dispersing Cortisol through activity will help you sleep better!
  • Daily exercise for 20-30 minutes increases your deep sleep

6. Practice Good Nutrition

  • Avoid big meals and drinking lots of liquids just before bed. 
  • Consume magnesium-rich foods to enhance the quality of your sleep: Cashews, almonds, pumpkin & sesame seeds, bran, spinach, chives, edamame & dark chocolate all fit the bill.

5. Try a Sound Spa

  • The sounds of waves, raindrops, crickets, or even a little white noise can soothe you to a deeper sleep.
