5 strategies for
better sleep
*
TRY A NEW SLEEPING POSITION
Right-side sleepers reported worse sleep quality than
left-side sleepers, while stomach sleepers reported more
feelings of anger than other sleep positions.
AVOID ELECTRONICS BEFORE BED
Their light and content disrupt sleep quality, leading to
insomnia and daytime fatigue.
THINK ABOUT BED-SHARING
Researchers found that people reported better sleep
when sharing their bed with a human partner—but that
other kinds of bed partners might actually disrupt sleep.
MAKE LIFESTYLE CHANGES
Research shows that yoga, physical exercise, and listening
to classical music before bed can promote better sleep.
CONSIDER SLEEP INTERVENTIONS
Melatonin, white noise machines, and weighted blankets
have been shown to improve sleep quality, though their
effectiveness varies among individuals.
