sleep!

hours before you fall asleep!
• Try and limit your alcohol,
especially right before
falling asleep!
• Try to eat melatonin-rich
products, such as cherries
and rice.

4. Control your
environment
• The environment of
your bedroom plays a
major part in whether
or not you have a
decent night’s sleep!
• Optimize the physical
setting of the room !
• Take out any
unnecessary light,
artificial or not, keep
the room quiet and
make sure that the
temperature of the
room is ideal

5. Be natural
• Unless you’ve been
clinically diagnosed with
sleep problems, you should
avoid sleeping pills, and
rather let melatonin
production occur naturally

6. Keep a
routine
• Try to get at least
seven hours of sleep
every evening!
• Try going to bed and
waking up on a
relatively consistent
schedule, and avoid
oversleeping!
• Sticking to a schedule
regulates the body’s
circadian rhythm,
causing you to feel
more refreshed and
energized when you
actually do wake up

7. Take time !

relax before
bedtime!
• Working and
socializing before
sleep creates
stress that
compromises how
well you sleep!
• Try reading,
listening to some
music or even
meditating

8. Respect your bed
• People who use their bed
just for sleep rest better
and fall asleep easier!
• If you want to eat or
check your computer,
don’t do it in bed!
• Going to do those
activities in another
room will increase
mental and physical
association between bed
and sleep
