How to get better sleep
According to
Dr. Jonathan R.L. Schwartz, medical director of Integris Sleep Disorders Center of Oklahoma, many people don't get enough shut-eye. Though every person is different, most adults require an average 8.2 hours each night.
Dr. Kris Sekar, medical director of the pediatric sleep lab at OU Health Sciences Center advises a minimum of 8 hours a night for children.
Exercising good sleep hygiene such as only using the bedroom only for sleep and intimacy, cutting back on caffeine, and developing regular sleep patterns can result in better, recuperative sleep.
