ASK THE EXPERT: Better sleep contributes to good health, improved quality of life and a more positive daily outlook.
We asked Dennis McCool M.D., Chief of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine and Director of the Sleep Lab at Memorial Hospital what are some simple rules for better sleep? Here are his answers
There are a number of things you can do to improve sleep. Keeping a regular sleep cycle is one of the most important strategies for achieving good sleep. If you are consistent with going to bed and awakening at the same time each day, you will feel much more refreshed than if you sleep the same number of hours at different times.
Click here to learn what Dr. McCool says about setting a time for sleep, your sleep environment and your nightly routines.
