Purdue Expert Gives Advice on Getting Good Night’s Sleep

A sleep expert is offering tips on how to get better sleep.

A.J. Schwichtenberg, the director of the Sleep and Developmental Studies Lab at Purdue University, says avoid naps that are more than 10 to 20 minutes, have a consistent bedtime and set conditions in the room to cool, dark and quiet.

Schwichtenberg recommends avoiding large amounts of food, alcohol and blue light exposure after dinner.

Her advice comes after a recent report from the CDC’s National Center for Health showed about 71 percent of American adults say they experienced fatigue on multiple days over the past three months.
