5 Tips to Help You Sleep Better

Don't we all wish we could sleep better? We'll I've got just the thing...besides wearing comfy Doz jammies, here are 5 tips that are proven to help you sleep better.

1. Stick to a schedule- I'm pretty bad at this one myself. Try waking up and going to bed at the same times every day.

2. Don't go to bed hungry or stuffed- If you need a snack, have something an hour or two before laying down.

3. Create a relaxing environment- I've talked about this before, but WHITE NOISE! I love our white noise machine or sleeping with a fan on. It's so calming and I've done it for YEARS! Make sure your mattress is comfortable and you have a good pillow also.

4. Don't drink caffeine late in the day- I've been working on this one too. If I need caffeine, I try to drink it before 10 AM.

5. Include physical activity in your daily schedule- Get outside. I try to take my kids outside and get 30+ minutes of sunshine every day. Sometimes I push them for a walk in the stroller, and sometimes we just hang out in the backyard and run around to get the wiggles out. Either way, it counts!
