You may be familiar with the saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” By now it’s clear that a good night’s rest is fundamental to boosting the immune system and keeping it strong so that it’s better equipped to fight illnesses and infectious diseases like COVID-19.

Although opinions continue to vary on how much sleep is ideal, we know that quality still outstrips quantity when it comes to optimizing sleep benefits. It’s important to experience deep restful and restorative sleep in your body to get the full benefit from your sleep time.

Here are a few easy things not to forget which will help you get the most out of your sleep:

Sleep Environment. Make sure the room temperature remains cool and that air can flow freely. You may want to get rid of any electronic noise or lighting that may disrupt your sleep.

Sleep Preparation. While you may do it in the morning, stretching before bed can help. What you wear to bed can also affect your sleep quality, so you may wish to stick to fabrics like cotton or linen that allow air circulation. A cup of caffeine-free tea will also help you relax.

Your Bed and Bedding. Your mattress should be one that conforms to your body and offers the right level of support no matter what position you’re sleeping in. Your pillow should also be one that offers comfort depending on your preferred sleep position. Make sure your bed linens are breathable.
