Fashion Friday: Sleep

Heather Graham’s beauty secret is that she tries to get 11-12 hours of sleep a night. I guess actresses can afford that kind of luxury!

I don’t function well on too much sleep. An abundance of rest actually makes me more tired. I am most productive with seven hours of solid shut-eye. But I have struggled with sleep my whole life which is why I take Ambien here and there!

Here are some behaviors to practice for good sleep.

•             Exercise regularly

•             Set a regular bedtime and waking time, even on the weekends

•             Eliminate caffeine at least 6 hours before bed

•             Avoid alcohol 4 to 6 hours before sleep

•             Beware of large, late meals

•             Create a relaxing bedtime routine

•             Practice relaxation techniques

•             Create a comfortable environment that is conducive to sleep by eliminating uncomfortable bedding, wearing loose clothing, keeping the bedroom temperature slightly cool, and eliminating any bothersome noise or light.
