Restful Sleep

Better nights start long before bedtime.

Sleep changes as we get older. Many people find they wake more often, fall asleep later or feel less rested in the morning. Small, steady habits help most people more than any single product.

Everyday habits that help

• Keep the same wake-up time

  Getting up at the same time every day, weekends included, is one of the most reliable ways to steady your body clock.

• Get morning daylight

  Ten to twenty minutes outside in the morning helps set your sleep rhythm for that night.

• Make the bedroom cool, dark and quiet

  A cooler room, blackout curtains and a fan or earplugs make a real difference for light sleepers.

• Ease off caffeine after noon

  Caffeine can stay in your system for many hours. Try decaf or herbal tea in the afternoon.

• Ask about snoring and gasping

  Loud snoring, pauses in breathing or heavy daytime tiredness are worth raising with your doctor, since sleep apnea is common and treatable.
