Getting enough sleep isn’t only about total hours of sleep. It’s also important to:
- Go to sleep at about the same time every day
- Get good quality sleep so you feel rested when you wake up
If you often have trouble sleeping – or if you don’t feel well rested after sleeping – talk with your doctor.
