Sweet dreams begin with healthy sleep habits! 💤 Here are five tips to help you sleep soundly and wake up refreshed: 1️⃣ Turn your bedroom into a sleep-inducing environment. Make it quiet, dark, and cool. Add white noise if necessary. 2️⃣ Keep a pre-sleep routine. Seniors can benefit from relaxing bedtime rituals like bathing, reading, or relaxation exercises. 3️⃣ Use natural light to your advantage. If needed, use a sleep mask or get heavy curtains. Let in the light first thing in the morning. 4️⃣ Nap early – or not at all. If necessary, keep it short and before 5:00 p.m. 5️⃣ Avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and other chemicals that interfere with sleep. Limit coffee or tea after lunch or use decaffeinated beverages. #BetterSleep #HealthyHabits #HealthTip
