6 Secrets to the Perfect Night's Sleep

6 Secrets to the Perfect Night's Sleep

According to a survey by the National Sleep Foundation, 48 percent of Americans report occasional insomnia while 22 percent experience insomnia every, or almost every, night. People over 65 and women are also more likely to report bouts of insomnia. If you or someone you know has experienced trouble sleeping, try correcting these simple habits to help get your body back on a natural cycle.

Know your bedtime ABCs. Deep, restorative sleep depends on (A) quiet, (B) darkness and (C) comfort. Make sure your bedroom isn't too hot or too cold, and that your mattress and bedding are ideal for your preferences. Also, don't go to bed hungry (or overly full). If pets sleep in your bed, test out sleeping without them for a few nights to see if your sleep improves.

Avoid caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. We all know that drinking caffeine will keep us awake, but few realize that it can affect us as much as six hours later. Alcohol's sugar content also keeps us awake. And nicotine can make it difficult to fall asleep; mid-sleep withdrawal symptoms may contribute to further sleep disruption.

Watch your workouts. Exercise is great, and can even help you sleep more soundly. But if you exercise too close to bedtime, it may rev you up, rather than wind you down.

Find a stress-free ritual. Reading or listening to music can help. But be wary of digital tablets and smartphones before bed. Researchers suggest the bright light emanating from screens may convince your body it's still daytime and prevent you from sleeping!

Eliminate the elimination. One of the main reasons people have disrupted sleep is a midnight trip to the bathroom. Not drinking after 8:00 p.m. can help.

Keep naps under 20 minutes. Falling asleep during the day can be a welcome rest, but it can also throw off your sleep pattern. If you need a short nap, try to keep it between 15 to 20 minutes, and not too close to bedtime.
