of sleep is associated with a higher mortality rate and can cause weight gain? Adults should get between
seven and nine hours of sleep each night. Sleep quality is just as important as

help you get better quality sleep.
1. Stick

2. Pay
attention to what you eat and drink
3. Create
a bedtime ritual
4. Get
comfortable
5. Limit
daytime naps
6. Include
physical activity in your daily routine
7. Manage
stress
