You know how important good nutrition and exercise are for your health and beauty, but sleep is also crucial too. Here are some tips from the Sleep Disorder Institute at New York's St. Luke's Roosevelt hospital to help you get the sleep you need:
*Exercise every day. Even 20 minutes of walking can help keep stress hormones from interfering with your sleep
*Avoid large meals just before bedtime. An inactive digestive system can disrupt sleep.
*Minimize light, noise and temperature extremes. Your bedroom should be comfortably cool, about 69 degrees.
*Don't read, watch television or work in bed. Use the bed only to sleep. This helps you prevent from developing sleep disorders.
*Avoid caffeine, nicotine or other stimulants within four hour of bedtime.
