Better Sleep, Better Health

Adults need around 7–9 hours of sleep. Poor sleep is linked to weight gain, high blood pressure, low mood and weaker immunity.

Tips for quality sleep

• Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
• Keep screens away for 30–60 minutes before bed.
• Avoid tea, coffee and heavy meals late in the evening.
• Keep your bedroom dark, quiet and cool.
• Get some daylight and activity during the day.

When to see a doctor

If you snore loudly, wake up tired after a full night, or have trouble sleeping for more than a few weeks, talk to me. Sleep problems are common and treatable.
