4Sleep
The average North American is chronically sleep deprived. We spend too much time in front of electronic devices which confuse our Circadian rhythm and keep us up much later than we should be. While there is no golden number for how much you should sleep (it also changes as you age), most doctors recommend between 6 and 9 hours of sleep a night. If you sleep 6 and need more, try to restructure your day so you can sleep more. Turn off your electronic devices at least 2 hours before bedtime and keep cell phones and televisions out of the bedroom. Try to limit your caffeine intake, invest in a good bed and pillows and try to see sleep as a luxurious gift to yourself that you deserve.
