Health Tip: Making the Transition to Sleep

It can be difficult to wind down from a busy day and prepare for sleep, as your body looks for cues that it’s time to wind down.

The National Sleep Foundation suggests:

Before bed, dim the lights. This will help your body release more of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin.
Step away from smartphones, tablets and other electronics that can emit bright light.
Finish all stimulating activities well before bedtime.
Drop the thermostat to 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit at bedtime, which should help prepare you for sleep.
