Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep
For most adults aged 35+, 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night is recommended by the National Sleep Foundation. However, individual needs can vary. Factors like activity level, genetics, and overall health can influence your ideal sleep duration. Listen to your body and aim for consistent energy levels throughout the day.
Yes, generally it's not ideal. The blue light emitted from screens can suppress melatonin production, a hormone essential for sleep, making it harder to fall asleep. Moreover, engaging content can overstimulate your brain. We recommend limiting screen time for at least an hour before bed and opting for a relaxing activity like reading a physical book.
If you wake up, avoid checking the time or engaging with your phone. Instead, try a quiet, non-stimulating activity in dim light, such as deep breathing exercises, gentle stretching, or reading a boring book until you feel sleepy again. Avoid eating, worrying, or getting frustrated, as these can make it harder to fall back asleep.
While some natural supplements like melatonin, magnesium, or valerian root can aid sleep for certain individuals, their efficacy varies, and they are not a long-term solution. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you have underlying conditions or are taking other medications.
