If you said \u201cyes,\u201d you\u2019re not alone.\u00a0 The National Sleep Foundation\u2019s most recent poll shows only four in ten respondents reported getting a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Lack of sleep can lead to high blood pressure, depression, and increased risk of heart disease and stroke as well as other health problems.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some steps you can take to get better sleep:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid alcohol and caffeine. You may feel sleepy using alcohol, but it will reduce your quality of sleep. Switch to decaffeinated coffee to reduce caffeine intake.<\/li>\n<li>Exercise at least 30 minutes per day. Exercise promotes a deeper sleep. Make sure you don\u2019t exercise too close to bedtime.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a regular sleep schedule. You should go to bed at the same time every night.<\/li>\n<li>Wake up at the same time every day. Try to maintain this pattern, even on weekends.<\/li>\n<li>Adjust the temperature in your bedroom to a cooler setting. It\u2019s easier to sleep in a cooler room.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful about what you eat and drink before bedtime. Avoid heavy meals too close to bedtime.<\/li>\n<li>Stop using computer devices or watching television close to bedtime. Studies show the use of electronics before bedtime may disrupt sleep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A good night\u2019s sleep will make you more alert, increase your endurance, and enhance your life.
