Tips at Home

Practical day-to-day tips for restful sleep and steady energy at home.

Build a calm bedtime routine — same wind-down, same lights, and same time each night. Note any changes and share them with your healthcare providers.

  • Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night; consistent times help most.
  • Dim screens and bright lights an hour before bed.
  • Keep the bedroom cool, dark, and quiet for deeper sleep.
  • Limit caffeine after noon and heavy meals close to bedtime.
  • Wind down with calm activities (reading, slow breathing, soft music) for 30-60 min.
Watch Closely

What to Watch For

Knowing the signs early means quicker comfort and safer days.

  • Track loud snoring, gasping, daytime fatigue, and morning headaches.
  • Note trouble falling or staying asleep more than 3 nights a week.

Good to know

  • Most adults need 7-9 hours; older adults often do best with 7-8.
  • Poor sleep can worsen pain, blood pressure, and mood.
When to call: Severe daytime sleepiness, choking at night, or a serious accident from fatigue — call your nurse or doctor. Call 911 for emergencies.
Stay Strong

Stay Strong & Steady

Wellness habits that keep you moving, balanced, and independent at home.

Small steps add up: one quiet evening, one steady bedtime, one peaceful morning brightens the whole day.

  • Daylight in the morning helps reset your sleep cycle.
  • Short daytime naps under 30 minutes; avoid late naps.
  • Gentle stretching or breathing before bed eases tension.
  • A simple gratitude or worry list calms the mind for sleep.
  • Move your body daily — short walks improve deep sleep at night.
