There are many things a person does before bed or to their sleeping environment that can affect their sleep pattern.

The average person requires approximately 8 hours of sleep each night. You should try to go to bed and wake up the same time each day. You should also avoid going to bed hungry, but avoid any products that can act as stimulants and keep you awake (i.e. coffee, tea, soda and chocolate should be avoided). You should also avoid strenuous exercise before bedtime. Finally, you should avoid bright lights in and around your bedroom before bed. Dimmer switches, energy efficient bulbs, and turning off your television and computer will help with this problem.

We hope these helpful tips will put you on your way to a better night's sleep. Pleasant dreams from all of us at Better Living Now!
