Four Ideas for Better Sleep

Most teens need about 9 or even more hours of sleep each
night. But about 1 in 4 teens has trouble sleeping. Lack of sleep
can affect everything from our emotions to how well we focus
on tasks, driving for example. It can affect sports performance,
increase (увеличить) our chances of getting sick or overweight.
How can we get the sleep we need? Here are some ideas:
1. Be active during the day. You've probably noticed how much
running around little kids do - and how well they sleep. Follow
their example and get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day.
Physical activity can decrease (уменьшить) stress and help people feel more relaxed. Just don't work too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up.
2. Say goodnight to electronics. Experts recommend using the
bedroom for sleep only. If you can't make your bedroom a techfree zone, at least turn everything off an hour or more before you
go to bed.
3. Keep a sleep routine. Going to bed at the same time every
night helps the body expect sleep. Creating a set bedtime routine
can enhance this relaxation effect. So finish your day by reading,
listening to music, spending time with a pet, writing in a journal,
playing Sudoku, or doing anything else that relaxes you.
4. Expect a good night's sleep. Stress can lead to insomnia, so
the more you worry about not sleeping, the greater the risk you'll
lie awake staring at the ceiling. Say, "Tonight, I will sleep well"
several times during the day. It can also help to practice breathing exercises before bed.

Everyone has a sleepiess night once in a while. But if you regularly have trouble sleeping and you think it's affecting your mood or performance, talk to your doctor.
