Getting our best sleep is something we always wish for when we lay our heads down at night.  Being able to wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to face the day is the goal, but it doesn’t always work out that way unfortunately, especially as we age.

However, there are a few things we can try to give us the best chances at a good night’s rest. If done consistently, you’ll most likely get into the habit of good sleep preparation and benefit from a well rested mind and body on a regular basis.

1). What the recommended amount of sleep hours you should be getting each night according to the CDC (Center for Disease Control)

2). Some of the things we tell ourselves on how we are going to get more rest during busy periods in life which don’t always work out.

3). Some of the problems that over the counter sleep medications can cause if used too much or incorrectly.

4). How making sleep a priority in one’s life can lead to better changes and improvement in mind, body and mood.
