Description

Suffering from depression can make it hard to stick to a routine. Try going to bed at the same time every night and getting between 7 – 9 hours of sleep for complete rest. A nightly routine tells your body to begin winding down and fall asleep. Other ideas to help you reset your sleep schedule includes: 1. Napping carefully: Naps longer than 20 minutes can make it harder to fall asleep at night. 2. Avoiding alcohol: Alcohol makes it more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. 3. Going outside: Exposure to sunlight tells us when to be awake and when to sleep. 4. Exercising regularly: It improves sleep quality.
