The arrival of a new year is an opportunity for a fresh start. It’s a time to determine how you can improve your life in the year ahead. One of the most important changes you can make for 2009 is to get at least seven hours of sleep each night.
“Making sleep a priority and improving your sleep habits is a great way to start the new year,” said American Academy of Sleep Medicine spokesperson Dr. Clete Kushida.
These habits include avoiding caffeine at night and keeping a regular sleep schedule. The AASM recommends that you practice all the healthy habits of good sleep hygiene.
