SLEEP

Consistency is key. Go to bed at the same time each night and wake up at the same time. A quiet, dark, calm/relaxing, comfortable temperature is recommended for the perfect sleep environment. Remove any electronics such as computers, phones, TV. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, or large meals before sleeping. Be physically active during the day to help you sleep later at night
