Health Tip: Kick Bad Sleep Habits

(HealthDay News) — If you can’t sleep, a few bad habits could be the issue.

The National Sleep Foundation mentions these sleep-stealing practices:

  • Having caffeine within six hours of bed.
  • Drinking alcohol before bed, which makes your sleep lighter.
  • Having a large meal or snack just before bed.
  • Getting insufficient exercise. Keeping fit boosts energy and generally helps you fall asleep faster and more soundly.
  • Having a TV, smartphone or computer in the bedroom.
  • Sleeping in late during weekends.
