Dr. Brazinsky:
So we tell people no heavy meals before dinner, no alcohol or sedating medications if you have sleep apnea because it worsens it, and then go to bed, try to get to bed at the same time every night if possible and even if you want to go into bed late or early one night, try to get up the same time every day and to get into a positive sleep cycle. Do relaxing things before bed time.
Heavy duty exercise is wonderful but not before bed time, it gives you that adrenalin rush and doesn’t lets you get asleep, non-caffeinated beverages close to bed time, just kind of things your grandmother would have told you. Don’t go swimming with a full stomach and don’t go to bed with a caffeinated beverage.
