GET SOME SLEEP
Researchers are learning more every day about the benefits of getting enough sleep. They include improved memory, reduced inflammation, weight control, less stress, better attentiveness, and — best of all — a longer lifespan. The advantages of sleep are so overwhelming that the only question is how to make sure you get enough. Getting to bed early always helps, and avoiding electronic screens before bedtime has been shown to encourage sleep. Naps during the day are another good option. Try a 20-minute power nap in the afternoon to improve your focus.
