Sleep

Members,

We’re sure you’ve heard it before but we can’t emphasize it enough – getting enough sleep at night is crucial to maintaining your good health. Your stress levels, mood and immune system are just a few of the things that are negatively affected when you don’t get enough sleep. The average American gets only 6.9 hours a night – not enough compared to the recommended 8 hours. The good news is that just by being here you are making positive changes on your sleeping habits.

Here are some more tips to help you get a good night sleep:

•    Create a good sleeping environment
•    Get started in an exercise routine
•    Limit food and beverage intake before bed
•    Don’t drink caffeinated beverages 4 hours before bed
•    Try relaxation or deep breathing techniques
•    Make a ‘to- do’ list before bed
