Getting good sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Here's how to get it.
Hide the Clock. Most people wake up five to six times throughout the night, Dow tells me, but most of the time you don't remember it—unless you're already anxious about sleep and happen to notice the time, then think to yourself how long you've been awake.
While we’re talking about clocks: Try not to depend on the snooze button. That extra 10 minutes might feel good, but “Do something that is moderately interesting,” she says, mentioning word games, simple math problems, or thinking of a story in your head as examples. Just avoid one classic trope: “Counting sheep isn't good enough. You can worry and count sheep at the same time; it's too simple.” She recommended counting down from 100 by seven instead.
“It works, but then we're relying on an outside source to help us fall asleep,” she says. “Any time your tool is not there, there's a risk of failure if you don't have access.”
