HOW TO SLEEP BETTER
Unplug.
The light emitted from computer and TV screens disrupts your circadian rhythm and keeps you awake. Disruptions to your circadian rhythm are linked to vision problems, cancer, and depression.
Don't eat or drink late at night.
Caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine can also cause sleep disruptions.
Pick a bedtime.
Decide when you have to wake up, and go to bed eight hours before then. Consider setting a nightly alarm to remind yourself when to get ready for bed.
Never do any work in bed.
If you associate your bed with reading emails and dwelling on work-related issues, it will be harder to relax there.
Keep a journal.
Spending just a few minutes to reflect on the positive highlights of your day can transform your attitude and keep you motivated.
Meditate.
Just five minutes of breathing meditation will lower stress, relax your body, and quiet your mind.
Read a real book for enjoyment.
Make sure it's not work-related. This should relax you and spur your creativity and passion.
Create a hygiene ritual.
Repetition will send a psychological signal that you are getting ready for bed. Brush your teeth, wash your face, floss.
Make a to-do list.
Writing down tomorrow's priorities will clear your mind for the night.
