睡眠技巧

 

Eat smart

 

Old tales have you believe that eating before bed is bad for you, but it's all about how you snack. In fact,some foods before bed may even help regulate your blood sugar and prep you to catch those Zs. Got the late night munchies? Try nibbling¹ on some kiwi.Research suggests the fruit may help boost your sleep quality.

 

Find the best place for Fido.

 

Experts stress that sleeping with your pet may disrupt your sleep, but emerging research shows that Fido or Fluffy² may help your shut eye. It comes down to what type of sleeper³ you are. If you tend to wake up easily, it may be best to keep your furry⁴ friend out of your way. The point is to make your bed a haven⁵ for sleep, whatever that maybe.
