If you've ever woken up suddenly drenched in sweat-soaked clothing and sheets, you've likely experienced night sweats. Though they can have a number of potential causes, night sweats are one of the most common symptoms affecting women in the lead-up to menopause: Up to 74 percent of perimenopausal women experience them, research suggests. Not only are night sweats uncomfortable, but they can seriously interfere with the quality of your sleep—and your overall well-being as a result.
Occasionally falling asleep at work is par for the course, according to a new survey by sleep wellness company Sleep Doctor, with 46% of respondents saying they nap during the workday at least a few times a year. What's more, 33% reported doing so weekly—9% once per week, 18% several times per week, and 6% daily.
Consistency is key when it comes to sleep. "Waking up at the same time seven days a week is easily the single most effective thing a person can do to regularize their circadian rhythms — a set of biological processes that follow a 24-hour cycle based on exposure to light and darkness — and improve melatonin production — a hormone in the brain that aid the body's internal clock," Dr. Michael Breus, a double board-certified clinical psychologist and sleep specialist, tells Yahoo Life.
We know what we're supposed to do at bedtime: Draw the blackout curtains. Meditate. Avoid wine, screens, the fridge, and other fun stuff. Thing is, those classic bits of advice can be impractical for our overextended, underrested nation. Don't (night) sweat it! What you actually need is advice for the real world—little tweaks to the standard strategies that can improve your rest without stressing you out. And here it is.
Considering you spend about a third of your life on your mattress, taking good care of it is pretty darn important. Yet, when was the last time you cleaned your mattress? We're guessing it's been a while. "You sleep on your mattress every night, so it's bound to need cleaning after all that use," said David Rubin, director of product testing and certified sleep science coach for The Sleep Doctor, the parent company of SleepFoundation.org.
Consistency in your lifestyle across the board will help your body know what to expect — including when to wind down and turn in, Dr. Breus says. A regular schedule is especially important in terms of wake-up time. "When you wake up, your body resets its 'melatonin timer,' so if your wake-up time is variable, so is your melatonin production," Dr. Breus says, referring to the hormone our bodies naturally produce to help control our sleep-wake cycle.
