Step 9: The Rest of Your Life
Give your body some time to adjust to the changes you're making: cutting caffeine, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, establishing a patterned bedtime, incorporating exercise into your daily routine and transforming your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary.
Getting 7 hours of sleep a night will help you look and feel younger, improve circulation, help lower blood pressure, reduce levels of stress and inflammation, strengthen your immune system, improves memory and helps to control body weight.
If after 4 weeks (longer if you're attempting to quit smoking) you don't see a marked improvement in your sleep pattern, speak to your doctor about your circumstances. If you're taking medications, that could be affecting the way you sleep - or you could simply need professional help to de-stress and identify those life factors that are prohibiting you from getting the sleep your body so desperately needs.
