Here are a few pointers to stop stress in its tracks by practicing these better sleep tips<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid afternoon coffee: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caffeine works by changing the chemistry of the brain, thus, blocking the action of adenosine, a natural brain chemical associated with sleep. Caffeine stays in your system for at least six hours. A coffee late in the afternoon can have a significant impact on your ability to fall asleep and set a restful night<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut out screen time:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banish all screens, including computers, smartphones, and TV, from your bedtime routine. Aim to make your room dark, cool, and quiet. This will help lull you into a more restful sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stick to a sleep schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to bed and get up at the same time everyday, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Being consistent reinforces your body’s sleep-wake cycle and helps promote better sleep at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be conscious of what you eat and drink:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t stuffed. Your discomfort might keep you up. Also limit how much you drink before bed, to prevent disruptive middle-of-the-night trips to the washroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>
