63° pie who suffer from lack of sleep. Age can have an impact — middle-age and elderly people tend to spend less time in deeper sleep than younger people, according to the National Sleep Foundation. They wake more fre- quently than young people and then tend to feel sleepier during the day. Then there's stress or anxiety, sleep apnea, hot flashes during menopause, jet lag...the list can go on and on. The question is, what can you do about it? If sleep loss cuts performance and the goal is to get a good night's sleep consistently, how can you accomplish it? Create a comfortable sleep environment. Sometimes it's simply a matter of an easy behavioral change. For instance, if you exercise too close to bedtime, try exercising earlier in the day. If you drink coffee after dinner, eliminate it. If you bring your work to bed with you, causing you to grow more alert instead of drowsy, establish a different kind of relaxing bedtime schedule. Dr. Gary Zammit is the author of Good Nights, How to Stop Sleep Deprivation, Overcome Insomnia, and Get the Sleep You Need (Andrews and McMeel). As director of the Sleep Disorders Institute at St. Lukes- Roosevelt Hospital in New York, he has developed what he calls "Ten Tips for a Good Night." These include: 1. Create a comfortable sleep envi- ronment. Your bed, pillow and levels of light, temperature and noise affect your sleep. Your bed should be just right for you in terms of firmness and large enough to provide ample sleep- ing space. Your pillow should accom- modate your sleeping style: soft for stomach sleepers, medium for back sleepers and firm for side sleepers. The room should be on the cooler side since it complements your body's drop to its lowest temperature during sleep. Noise should be kept to a minimum, especially as we get older. Try earplugs, if necessary, or white-noise machines. 2. Don't go to bed stuffed or starv- ing. It can prevent you from falling asleep and awaken you during the night. Also, limit your fluids at bed- time to keep from having to wake up to go to the bathroom. 3. Get some aerobic exercise. It has We Sell Quality Brand Name Closeouts at "AMAZING" Prices!
