It is summer, and who does not want to spend the weekends\nsleeping in and enjoying time just lounging in bed? Unfortunately, for some\npeople, sleeping in is a foreign concept, especially if you wake up each\nmorning feeling as if you did not sleep at all the night before. Why is this\nhappening? It may be that you are suffering from sleep apnea\nin DuPont<\/a>. This common sleep disorder affects millions of Americans, and\noftentimes, many of the symptoms associated with it go undiagnosed for years.\nThe good news is that you do not have to go one more day without restful sleep.\nModern advancements in dentistry and sleep medicine have made it possible to\noffer patients various solutions to start getting the sleep they need. <\/p>

Stay Active<\/h2>

During the summer, it is in your best interest to get\noutside and get active. The sun is out, which means there are plenty of\nopportunities for outdoor activities, including swimming, jogging, playing\nfrisbee, or just walking your dog. The more active you are throughout the day,\nthe greater the chances you will rest better when you go to sleep at night.<\/p>

Keep a Routine<\/h2>

It can be hard to stick to a normal bedtime routine during\nthe summer, especially with all the events and fun family gatherings, but your\nbody will thank you if you do. Better sleep happens when you get enough of it!<\/p>

Make Your Bedroom Sleep-Ready<\/h2>

When preparing for bed, turn off the lights and set your\nthermostat to a cool temperature. You have sheets and a comforter or blanket\nfor a reason, right? Use them by keeping your room cool and your body cozy. It\nis also better if you try to keep your room free from any clutter, so pick up\nyour dirty clothes and those shoes that could cause you to trip when you wake\nin the morning.<\/p>

Limit the Amount of Light in Your Bedroom<\/h2>

Anything that has a bright light attached to it can play\ntricks on your brain. Want to go to bed early or get a restful night of sleep?\nAvoid TV, laptops, cell phones, or tablets at least one hour before bed. This\nwill help your brain to realize it is time to go to bed and that it is, in\nfact, nighttime. <\/p>

Avoid Alcohol or Caffeine<\/h2>

Although some might say it is a myth, drinking caffeine\nbefore you go to bed can make it difficult to fall asleep. Alcohol can make it\nharder to achieve the deep sleep that we all crave so much. Instead of coffee\nor wine, opt for water before you go to bed. <\/p>

Take a Shower<\/h2>

There is nothing worse than going to bed smelling bad. If\nyou wear sunscreen during the day or sweat during your afternoon workout, make\nsure to take a shower before going to bed. <\/p>

Forget the Pajamas<\/h2>

If you are having trouble trying to find the right kind of\npajamas to wear in the summer, save yourself the money and opt for your\nbirthday suit. Sleeping in the nude can help to regulate your body temperature.\nBetter yet, if you are sleeping with a partner and are trying to get pregnant,\nyou will be surprised to know that it can increase sperm count. <\/p>

Embrace the Sunshine<\/h2>

You may like the results that blackout curtains provide, but\nwhen you are unable to see the sun as it shines through your window, it could\nknock your sleep routine out of rhythm. Sunshine is good for your body, as it\ncan help you sleep better.<\/p>

If you follow these simple tips, you will be well on your\nway to a restful night of sleep. If you are still having trouble getting the\nsleep you need, talk to your doctor as soon as possible to see about treatment\noptions for sleep apnea.<\/p>
