6 Tips for Good Night Sleep

A recent study looking at people who sleep an average of 5 hours a day versus people who sleep an average of 7 hours a day showed a much higher incidence of hypertension, heart disease, depression and even suicides in the group with less sleep.
This is the difference a mere 2 hours of less sleep can do!
Therefore, remember to get enough quality sleep for a better and healthier life ahead!


Here are some Good Night Sleep Tips:

1. Recognise the fact that sleep is valuable commodity. Guard it well!
2. Sleep at the recommended hours, for the recommended hours.
3. Keep potential sleep distractors - computers/TVs/iPads/iPhones - out of the bedroom.
4. Keep the bedroom comfortable, neat, clean and quiet.
5. Remember to 'cool down' to sleep. Relax for half an hour before sleeping by soaking in a warm tub, do a bit of light-reading or listen to some slow, easy music. We cannot just switch off the computer or TV and jump into bed to sleep. Our minds would still be a beehive of activity and many would find it hard to sleep.
6. Do not take stimulating substances like, tea, coffee, carbonated drinks or chocolates just before sleeping.
