2. Avoid alcoholic drinks 3 hours before bed (alcohol prevents REM sleep)

6. Avoid large meals and beverages late at night (Stop eating 90 minutes before bed, high fat low carb at night if you do eat late)

1. Don’t take naps after 3 p.m.
2. Relax before bed, wind down, shower/bath, reading, or listening to music, meditations, stretching, dim lights, red lights or blue light blocking glasses

4. Don’t lie in bed awake, if restless >25 minutes get out of bed and come back when
