Consumer Reports says...Need some sleep?

I'm starting a new monthly series...As I read my Consumer Reports I'm going to choose tid bits to share.

This month they give advice on getting a good night's sleep - it's good for problem-solving and verbal skills (me no talk so good when no get enough sleep):

• avoid big meals and caffeine late in the day
• don't exercise 4 hrs before bed (huh!)
• do exercise earlier in the day
• don't take naps (duh!)
• try to have the same bedtime and wake time
• keep bedroom cool, dark and quiet - use primarily for sleeping and cuddling
• set a turn off time for all screens
• meditate before bedtime, deep breathe, concentrate on relaxing muscles (no time, just fall asleep)
• a survey by CR said replacing your mattress could improve your sleep too.

And here are some #1s of the month:
