-Her '10 Basic Sleep You Can Implement Tomorrow' are:
1 - Dim the lights to candlelight levels at least 30 minutes before bed.
2 - Put the phone away at the same time.
3 - Now is not a good time to binge on Netflix or watch TV either.
4 - Wake up, walk outside, and take in the new day for at least 5 minutes.
5 - If you are sleepy in the afternoon, save money on coffee and take a nap.
6 - Keep the room cool at night. Easier during the winter months
7 - Coffee is great for brain health but stop drinking it at least 8 hours before bed. Pre-workout counts towards this too.
8 - Take a hot shower before bed. This will relax you and cool you down.
9 - Invest in a high quality mattress or cooling pad
10 - Purchase a wearable and tweak your recovery game based on days in the red.
