It's 'Top Gun Day', but you really wish it was 'Top Sleep Day'. 😪⁣
⁣
Sleep is important for your physical and mental health. While you sleep, your body repairs itself, strengthens your immune system and boosts your brain function.⁣
⁣
Your age, lifestyle, genetics and other individual factors can influence the amount of sleep you need. As a general rule, most adults need about 7 to 9 hours of sleep a day. 😴⁣
⁣
If you've lost that sleepin' feeling, it can send you into a flat spin. 😵‍💫⁣
⁣
Here are a few tips to help make sleep your wingman:⁣
🛌 go to sleep and wake up around the same time each day⁣
☕ cut back on caffeine, nicotine and alcohol⁣
📱 switch off your phone 30 minutes before sleep⁣
🌚 keep your bedroom cool and dark⁣
💤 keep your day naps shorter than 30 minutes, and don't nap close to bedtime⁣
🚶 if you can't fall asleep, go into another room and return to your bedroom when you feel tired again.⁣
⁣
Sleep can be made difficult by some medications, alcohol, chronic pain, stress, medical conditions and shift work. If you're still in the sleep danger zone after trying these tips, it's a good idea to see your healthcare provider.⁣
