Research presented at the American Psychological Association’s 2013 meeting in Honolulu showed you don’t always need eight hours;  the problem is worrying about getting enough sleep!

Try this:

  • Don’t use your bedroom for anything but sleep and sex: no TV, no reading, no studying.  Just sleep.  And sex.
  • Don’t eat a heavy meal late in the evening; try having something light- like yogurt- about 90 minutes before bed.
  • Don’t drink caffeinated beverages in the evening.
  • Don’t exercise in the evening- plan your workouts for earlier in the day.
  • Stop using the computer, cell phone, reader, TV about an hour before bed.
  • Use relaxation techniques.
