Sleep Problems

As you can see by the time of this post, it's nearly midnight and I'm not sleeping yet. This article (again from the American Psychological Association) offers some suggestions for dealing with sleep problems, as well as more information on sleep. There are good resources at the end of the article as well.

• Keep a regular sleep/wake schedule
• Don’t drink or eat caffeine four to six hours before bed and minimize daytime use
• Don’t smoke, especially near bedtime or if you awake in the night
• Avoid alcohol and heavy meals before sleep
• Get regular exercise
• Minimize noise, light and excessive hot and cold temperatures where you sleep
• Develop a regular bed time and go to bed at the same time each night
• Try and wake up without an alarm clock
• Attempt to go to bed earlier every night for certain period; this will ensure that you’re getting enough sleep
