Healthy Sleep Tips from Dr Greg Murray

Sleep is as vital to well-being as adequate nutrition and exercise. Dr Greg Murray recommends the following tips to help you establish and maintain a healthy sleep-wake cycle.

1. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and other chemicals that interfere with sleep

2. Turn your bedroom into a sleep-inducing environment

3. Let natural light into your bedroom first thing in the morning and get out of the office for a sun break during the day

4. Go to sleep when you're truly tired

5. Care for your internal clock by establishing a consistent sleep schedule
