You know how important sleep is for your health, beauty, and vision. What can you do to assure you get quality sleep? The following suggestions can assist you in getting the rest you require:

·        To indicate to your body and mind that it is time to wind down, dim the lights in your home about an hour before bedtime.

·        Keep your room at a comfortable temperature. People usually sleep better when the temperature is between 65 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

·        All types of light can disrupt your sleep, but screen light is particularly harmful. Avoid gazing at digital screens for about two hours before your bedtime. Blue wavelength light from your computer, TV, phone, or tablet can interfere with the hormonal and biochemical balance your body needs for a quality sleep.

·        Eat no more than three hours before going to bed. Digestion consumes a lot of energy, making it difficult for the body to relax and fall asleep.

·        Regular exercise might help you sleep better, but make sure you get your workout during the day. Exercising within three hours of going to bed could make it harder to relax.

·        Even on weekends, try to go to bed and wake up at the same time as your weekdays. Keeping a consistent life routine sets the stage for achieving general health including sleep and vision health.
