A good night’s sleep is just as important as regular exercise and a healthy diet. Research shows that poor sleep has immediate negative effects on your hormones, exercise performance and brain function.
It can also cause weight gain and increase disease risk in both adults and children. In contrast, good sleep can help you eat less, exercise better and be healthier.
Here are 10 tips for better sleep:
Increase bright light exposure during the day
Reduce blue light exposure in the evening
Don’t consume caffeine late in the day
Reduce irregular or long daytime naps
Try to sleep and wake at consistent times
Take a melatonin supplement
Don’t drink alcohol
Optimize your bedroom environment
Set your bedroom temperature
Don’t eat late in the evening
