Work stress keeping you up at night? Here’s how to get a better night’s sleep

More than half of U.S. adults report the use of a sleep aid, according to the Casper-Gallup survey. These aids may include anything from air conditioning, special sheets and noise machines to tea, melatonin and prescription medications. However, these aids may not be as crucial to sleep as the right state of mind. 

“Make sure you give yourself enough time and space to wind down at the end of the day so your body is ready for sleep at the right time,” says Dr. Grandner. “To better support a bed-sleep connection, you should also get out of bed if you cannot sleep.”
