Sleep...how to get enough.

“… Sufficient sleep is not a luxury—it is a necessity—and should be thought of as a vital sign of good health.” - Wayne H. Giles, MD, MS, Director, Division of Population Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion

No doubt about it, sleep is important. It effects our health, our relationships and nearly everything we do.

So how can you get a good night's rest? Here are some tips from the CDC...

• Go to bed at the same time each night, and rise at the same time each morning.
• Sleep in a quiet, dark, and relaxing environment, which is neither too hot nor too cold.
• Make your bed comfortable and use it only for sleeping and not for other activities, such as reading, watching TV, or listening to music.
• Remove all TVs, computers, and other "gadgets" from the bedroom.
• Avoid large meals before bedtime.
