As you find yourself caught up in the mad dash of holiday shopping, baking and traveling, somewhere in the back of your mind, you may find yourself worrying about one thing: those New Year’s Resolutions.
It’s not quite time to start making them yet, but it’s coming up fast. Only 8 percent of people who make them end up meeting their goals. Maybe you’ve been one of the lucky ones in the past, but more than likely, you’re one of the 92 percent who aren’t able to follow all the way through.
Many people make the resolution to lose weight, eat healthier and exercise more. We applaud all that, and want to help you stick to those goals as much as possible. This year, CPAP Central would like you to commit to better sleep by doing the following things:
Hygiene
In an earlier blog this month, we addressed what good sleep hygiene is. This term has little to do with cleanliness and more to do with good habits that can enable you to get the most out of your shut-eye. If you aren’t yet following these tips, now would be a good time to start!
Stop Smoking
While smoking brings with it a slew of other health problems, interfering with your sleep is one of them. Tobacco products can speed up your heart rate, making it harder to wind down at the end of the day. Commit to stop smoking with tools that can be found on the Smokefree.gov website.
Stay CPAP Compliant
Many people struggle when they first start their sleep apnea therapy. If this is you, CPAP Central is here to help! We can connect you with the right equipment to help you succeed. We’re available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST on our live chat, and can walk you through purchasing the right items.
At CPAP Central, we love helping people sleep better! What are your tips to getting a better night’s rest?
