Get enough sleep
Little sleep increases your risk of suffering health problems like diabetes, heart attack, indigestion, heartburn, ulcers, menstrual irregularities, depression, colds and breast cancer.
If you experience sleepless nights, here’s how to get a good night’s sleep.
Sleep to feel refreshed and get out of bed. Too much time in bed is related to shallow sleep.
Get up at the same time every day. The rhythm you establish will help you feel sleepy at the same time each night.
Exercise regularly, but not in the late afternoon or early evening.
Keep your bedroom dark and quiet.
Avoid napping. Naps make you less sleepy when you want to sleep.
Avoid alcohol because your sleep will be fragmented.
Avoid heavy meals and spicy foods before bedtime.
Use light cotton bed sheets if you suffer from hot flashes.
