Sleep is important. So important that we spend (or should spend) 1/3 of our lives doing it. So many things can influence sleep, making it better or worse.

Several simple tips for better sleep:

• Keep your room colder, somewhere in the 60’s
• Use only dim lamp light after the sun goes down
• Don’t eat big meals close to bed time
• Don’t eat sugar close to bed time
• Value sleep more than the comfort of your pets; if they are in your bed and it is at all disturbing, get them into their own bed
• Keep your room as dark as you can, ambient light will keep your brain stimulated
• Read your books in paperback vs. electronic format

Although sleep is a passive thing, it takes action on our part to make sure that we get good sleep. Visit your chiropractor in Overland Park today!
