Four Brave New Worlds

This advice used to hang on the wall at the place where we rent our daughter’s oxygen equipment. It’s not there right now, as they’re in the process of remodeling. In fact, the wall itself is completely gone. But by a happy coincidence, I took a photo so I wouldn’t have to rely on my own memory.

TIPS FOR SLEEPING WELL:

Set the tone for sleep by completing housework, bills and other activities several hours before bedtime.

Get out of bed if you don’t fall asleep within twenty minutes.

Midday naps may interfere with a good night’s sleep.

Avoid alcohol, especially before bedtime.

Keep your bedroom dark, quiet and relaxing.

Avoid caffeinated beverages, especially in the afternoon and evening.

Try to maintain the same sleep/wake schedule every day, including weekends.

Complete any exercise four or more hours before bedtime.

Have a light snack before bed, not a heavy meal.

Don’t fall asleep with the television on.
