Sleep experts from the World Sleep Society have created ten commandments of sleep hygiene for weary adults.
Air, water, food -- and some would argue sex -- are key ingredients to human survival. In reality, there should be another"s" word in that list: sleep.
Yet despite this nuclear fallout for our health, we still don't prioritize sleep -- even when the stock market isn't crashing. "Then they are trying to get catchup sleep on the weekend, and that's not a healthy pattern," Goff said.While an occasional short snooze can be healthy, the World Sleep Society's second commandment warns:"If you are in the habit of taking siestas, do not exceed 45 minutes of daytime sleep."
"It continues to pull you out of rapid eye movement and the deeper stages of sleep, causing you to wake up not feeling restored," Robbins said.Here's a no-brainer: Boycott caffeine at least six hours before your normal bedtime . And caffeine is in more than just coffee, so the World Sleep Society also warns about tea and many sodas, as well as chocolate.
While studies haven't proven that exercise just before bed will harm sleep, many experts -- like the World Sleep Society -- recommend avoiding it. Why? Because moderate exercise heats up your core temperature, signaling the body that it's time to be awake, while the release of endorphins is thought to keep some of us alert.
