Wake up well-rested with these tips to help you stay asleep through the night.
Watch meal timing and richness

Skip cafeine after 2 p.m.
Limit liquids before bed

To minimize its ability to disrupt your REM cycle and wake you up at night, limit alcohol and avoid it three to four hours before bed.
Try having your cofee earlier in the day. Cafeine is a REM disruptor that could wake you up at night.
If you fnd yourself heading to the bathroom through the night, consider flling up on fuid during the day and taking a break a few hours before bed.
Opt for relaxing activity in the evening
Calm your mind before bed
Avoid vigorous workouts in the evenings. Instead, consider activities like relaxing yoga, or body-calming practices like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation.
As bedtime approaches, skip the stimulating shows and tense topics. Instead, try turning on quiet music, enjoying a good book, or agreeing to recap the positive parts of the day.
