Can’t Sleep? Better Sleep Tips in Bakersfield and Tehachapi
Tips From Synchrony Medical Group
Good sleep is one of the best things you can do for your health. Here are simple steps to help you rest better and know when to get support.
What Gets in the Way of Sleep
Stress, worry and a busy mind can keep you up at night. Hot flashes, night sweats and other hormone changes can also wake you. Extra weight can contribute to snoring and sleep apnea, which may leave you tired even after a full night.
Habits That Help You Rest
- Set a wind-down routine. Dim the lights and put screens away about an hour before bed.
- Keep your room cool and dark. A comfortable space makes it easier to fall and stay asleep.
- Limit late caffeine and alcohol. Both can disrupt sleep, even if you fall asleep easily.
- Get morning light. Time outside early in the day helps set your body clock.
