A Good Night’s Sleep at Post Ranch Inn
The month of March is National Sleep Awareness Month and World Sleep Day is mid March on March 15. The Center For Disease Control and Prevention offers 5 tips for a better night’s sleep. Sleep habits that can improve sleep health include:
- Be consistent. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, including on the weekends
- Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature
- Remove electronic devices, such as TVs, computers, and smart phones, from the bedroom
- Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime
- Get some exercise. Being physically active during the day can help you fall asleep more easily at night.
