Some of the Sleep Tips
below are from Dr. James B. Maas, Professor of Psychology at Cornell University.
Dr. Maas teaches and conducts research on the relationship between sleep and
performance. He is the author of the New York Times Best Seller, Power Sleep:
The Revolutionary Program That Prepares Your Mind for Peak Performance. His most
recent book, Remmy and the Brain Train, is an award-winning children's bedtime
story about the need for sleep. Dr. Maas makes frequent television appearances
on such programs as NBC's TODAY Show, Good Morning America, The View, ABC's
20/20, and Oprah.
Creating the ideal bedroom
environment. There are three things a bedroom should be in order to
promote good sleep -- quiet, dark and cool.
Quiet Fans or other
white noise generators near the bed can help mute sleep distractions. A cheaper
alternative is to set the tuner of your FM radio between any two stations. The
pseudo white noise you'll hear will do wonders to mask unwanted
sounds.
Light Level Use room darkening shades or dark fabrics
to reduce the amount light leaking into the room. Eyeshades may also do the
trick.
Temperature 65° F is the ideal temperature for sleeping.
A warm room or too many blankets can interrupt your sleep.
