Help us spread the message of sleep health! We'll be sharing daily tips backed by scientific evidence to help you improve your sleep during the COVID pandemic. Good sleep is more important than ever! #sleep #COVID19 #insomnia

COVID Sleep Tip #1: Avoid working in bed or using your bedroom as an office. Over time, this can cause your brain to associate your bedroom environment with wakefulness which can lead to sleep difficulties. Try to keep separate rooms for working and sleeping #sleep #COVID19

COVID Sleep Tip #2: Try to go to bed and rise at the same time every day, even on weekends. Keeping a regular rhythm signals to your body when it's time to release hormone and chemicals that help you sleep, and ones that help you wake up #insomnia #sleep #COVID19

COVID Sleep Tip #3: Schedule 15 minutes during the day to stress and reflect upon the situation: write thoughts down, talk about stress, etc. Restricting your thinking about these things to specific times reduces their interference with sleep. (pls RT) #insomnia #COVID19

COVID Sleep Tip #4: Try to get as much natural sunlight in the morning as possible. Natural sunlight helps reset your body clock each day. Research has also shown that more light exposure during the EARLY part of the day improves your sleep at night! (pls RT) #insomnia #COVID19

COVID Sleep Tip #5: Can't sleep? try the 15-minute rule. If you've been awake >15 minutes, it's best to get up and do something relaxing before returning to bed when you feel sleepy. This helps you to associate your bed with feeling sleepy rather than awake #insomnia #COVID19

COVID Sleep Tip #6: Here's why you're drinking too much caffeine! When working from home It's tempting to indulge in that extra coffee break, but caffeine is more powerful than you think. Just 3 cups before 3pm is the same as drinking 1 cup at 11pm. Image spiindle.org

COVID sleep tip #7: Experiment with your sleep schedule. We all have a unique body clock determining or optimal sleep time. This is largely genetic. Forcing sleep outside of this time can lead to poor sleep quality. Find the time that's right for you #insomnia #COVID19

COVID sleep tip #7: Be careful with home workouts! Studies show that intense exercise <1hr before bed impairs sleep. Exercise increases core body temperature which stops the body from triggering biological processes that send you to sleep. #insomnia #COVID19

COVID sleep tip #8: Avoid electronic tablets for bedtime reading. One experiment conducted by Harvard University showed that those used light-emitting e-books before bed took longer to fall asleep than those who read printed books and felt groggier the next day!
