With much of the United States under lockdown for the last couple of months because of the coronavirus pandemic and many people still practicing social distancing, it has been a challenge for Americans to maintain healthy habits. As the country is beginning to ease social distancing measures, with people returning to work and businesses slowly reopening, 24/7 Tempo has rounded up easy way to be a healthier person.
Make the bedroom cool at night
Cooling down your bedroom will help you sleep better. Dr. Kent Smith of Sleep Dallas, a dental sleep medicine practice, and president of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy, said in an interview to 24/7 Tempo, “The body is designed to sleep better at cooler temperatures. In fact, our temperature naturally drops in the evening to prepare us for sleep.” Smith said that for most people, the optimal sleeping temperature is between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
