Celebrate Better Sleep Month: 16 Tips to Help You Sleep Better

Getting a good night’s sleep has been a challenge for me for many years.

And I am not alone.

Sleep is a key part of a healthy lifestyle so it is critically  important to make a commitment

to healthy, restorative sleep.

Like eating healthy and exercising, to feeling our best during the day.

Sleep affects how we feel, our relationships, our productivity and our overall quality of life.

While we sleep, our brains goes to work, consolidating the day’s learning into memory and

reenergizing the body.

So, in honor of Better Sleep Month, I thought it would be fitting to feature some helpful

information about the health implications of insufficient sleep, as well as tips for sleeping

better on a regular basis.

What is Better Sleep Month?

on the importance of sleep in leading a healthy, productive life.

Now their website offers a wealth of information, from sleep FAQs to mattress shopping tips.

The Council’s focus on sleep-related tips — often featuring insights from their latest research —

strives to inform and educate so everyone can get the rest they need.
