RULES FOR A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
1. Select a standard wake up time. Use it everyday regardless of the sleep you got on any particular night – and that includes weekend
2. Use the bed only for sleeping. Do not read, eat, watch TV etc. in bed – sexual activity is the only exception
3. Get up when you can’t sleep. When you are unable to sleep get up and go to another room until you feel sleepy enough to fall asleep quickly before returning to bed. Get up again if sleep does not return quickly
![Page 77: WHY CAN’T I SLEEP?•You Can’t Force Sleep! •an hour before bed try to unwind from your day •Read, take a warm bath, listen to relaxing music, stretch and do relaxation exercises](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081406/5f1227b937e09017520f4053/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
RULES CONTINUED 4. Do not worry, plan, etc in bed. if such mental
activities come to mind automatically in bed, get up and stay up until you can return to bed without these mental activities interfering with your sleep
5. Avoid daytime napping. Napping , particularly in the afternoon or early evening may interfere with your night’s sleep
6. Go to bed only when sleepy. Long periods of time in bed will lead to shallow fragmented sleep. You should spend only the amount of time in bed that you actually need for sleep
