After a night of tossing and turning, most of us would groggily agree: Sleep is critical for brain health and overall well-being, and even in the best of times, many adults fall short of the seven or so hours a night that many health experts recommend. If stress has been been sapping your zzzs even more lately, the American Psychological Association recommends setting the stage for sound slumber by making your sleeping environment as cool, dark, and quiet as possible; tabling stressful conversations after dark; powering down your phone and TV before bedtime; and moving any clocks out of view so you can’t stare at the wee hours slipping by. A few small adjustments tonight can help ensure you wake up better rested in the morning—and better equipped for the day ahead!
