University Sleep Center

More than 70 million Americans experience fatigue, irritability, depression, inability to concentrate, memory problems, loss of productivity and auto or workplace accidents, primarily due to sleep disorders. These symptoms affect many aspects of your life and if left untreated, some sleep disorders may increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke. The board certified physicians of the University Sleep Center have developed a unique program that allows for the comfortable and efficient treatment of sleep disorders.

Eleven Rules for Better Sleep Hygiene
  1. Sleep as much as needed to feel refreshed and healthy during the following day, but no more. Curtailing the time in bed seems to solidify sleep; excessively long times in bed seem related to fragmented and shallow sleep.
  2. A regular arousal time in the morning strengthens circadian cycling and, finally, leads to regular times of sleep onset.
  3. A steady, daily amount of exercise probably deepens sleep; occasional exercise does not necessarily improve sleep the following night.
  4. Occasional loud noises (eg: aircraft flyovers) disturb sleep even in people who are not awakened by noises and cannot remember them in the morning. Sound-attenuated bedrooms may help those who must sleep close to noise.
  5. Although excessively warm rooms disturb sleep, there is no evidence that excessively cold rooms solidify sleep.
  6. Hunger may disturb sleep; a light snack may help sleep.
  7. An occasional sleeping pill may be of some benefit, but their chronic use is ineffective for most insomniacs.
  8. Caffeine in the evenings disturbs sleep, even in those who feel it does not.
  9. Alcohol helps tense people fall asleep more easily, but the ensuing sleep is then fragmented.
  10. People who feel angry and frustrated because they cannot sleep should not try harder and harder to fall asleep but should turn on the light and do
    something different.
  11. The chronic use of tobacco disturbs sleep.
