Getting More Sleep
This should definitely be at the top of everyone's new year's resolution list. Bedrooms serve as the backdrop for efforts to arrive at quality sleep, and factors such as light, temperature, noise and distractions can have a big impact. Start the year off right by organizing and decluttering the room. Avoid disrupting light by limiting electronics and phone services and using blackout shades or an eye mask. Another thing that you should watch out for are stimulants. Hot spices, sugar, and caffeine should be avoided before bedtime. You should also try to go to bed and get up at the same times even on the weekends. Keeping a routine will help with your biological clock and getting better sleep. If you are one of those people that is able to take a nap, make sure that it is around lunch time and limit the nap to 30 minutes. Lastly, keep checking on your progress because a lifelong great sleeping habit will have a lot of benefits.
