SLEEP SUGGESTIONS

Helpful Hint:

The Board of Health recommends that you replace your bed every 8 to 12 years. Pillows should be replaced every 9 to 15 months. This is due to the build up of allergens and dust mites.

Getting a Better Night's Sleep

Woman Sleeping

A good night's sleep is vital to emotional, mental, and physical health. However, most people do not get the recommended amount of sleep each night and sacrifice their ability to achieve to their capabilities the next day. Added consequences include lack of concentration, irritability, a weakened immune system and more stress. The good news is that better sleep can be as easy as sleeping on a new mattress. A new mattress can improve the way you feel and function every day. Even the impact of some medical conditions may be reduced by a better mattress. A more restful and restorative sleep through proper support of the body and correct alignment can provide relief from conditions like acid reflux, restless leg syndrome, poor circulation, back pain, and many others.

Here are a few tips to get better sleep for better health:

  1. Fit sleep into your everyday schedule like you would work or other mandatory obligations. Keep a consistent schedule by keeping the same bedtime and wake time, even on the weekends.
  2. Make a pre-sleep routine to unwind. Do something relaxing, such as reading, listening to calming music, or taking a bath.
  3. Make your bedroom a relaxing and comfortable space. Ensure that your room is dark, comfortable, quiet, and cool with no distractions.
  4. Check your mattress and pillows frequently to make sure they are giving you proper support and comfort. If the mattress is 5-7 years or older and the pillows are 1 year or older it may be time for replacement.
  5. Only use the bedroom for sleep and sex. Keep work materials, TV, and computers in other common areas.
  6. Get regular exercise but never work out two hours or less before your normal bedtime.
  7. Make sure there is enough space for you and your partner to lay comfortably on the mattress. Usually a queen size is sufficient for couples.
  8. Never eat, drink alcohol or caffeine, or use nicotine close to bedtime as these can lead to disruptive and poor sleep.
