Sleep
The average adult should be sleeping 7-8 hours a night. The average American sleeps less than 7 hours a night which is affecting our bodies more than we think. Sleep is very important for our health including brain performance, boosts immune system, and mood. Lack of sleep can lead to a higher risk for diseases like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and dementia. Try these sleep tips: • Be consistent with your sleeping schedule. Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning. • Avoid caffeine, alcohol, or large meals before bed. • Turn off TVs, computers, or smartphones before you get into bed. • Be physically active throughout the day. • Make your room comfortable – dark, quiet, right temperature for you. • If this is something you cannot control, try a sleep eye mask, ear plugs, white noise, or use a fan/heater to maintain room temperature. Learn more in this month's edition of Tidbits! The material provided in intended to be used as general information only and should not replace the advice of your physician.
