Sleep Hygiene 101

Sleep is actually a combination of 2 systems, your sleep drive (like hunger) and a biological clock that tells you when to sleep. When both are working well together, you sleep best. This is why a regular sleep schedule is so important. Interestingly enough, with all the sleep research out there, we still do not understand why we sleep. But we sure know what happens when we don’t: disaster. And when we do get great sleep, really good things happen (increased immune system, look better, weight loss, and increased performance).


Here are the five questions to ask yourself to help guide you through your personal Sleep Challenge in 2010 with Arianna Huffington and Cindi Leive:

  • How can my sleep be better?
  • How can I fall asleep more quickly?
  • Am I doing something to keep myself awake in the middle of the night?
  • Could my bedroom be affecting my sleep?
  • What can I do during the day to set myself up for good sleep at night?
