Sleep experts emphasize that the best gift you can give yourself this holiday season is restful sleep.

During the bustling holiday season, it's easy to get caught up in late-night preparations and stress. However, prioritizing sleep is essential for enjoying the festivities to the fullest.
According to sleep specialists, the best present you can give yourself this year is plenty of rest. A study published in Sleep highlights that the average American adult gets only 6.9 hours of rest nightly, with a significant portion falling short of the 7 to 9 hours recommended by the AASM.
Holiday demands like gift shopping, party planning, and late-night wrapping can lead to increased sleep deprivation. Dr. Donna Arand from the AASM notes, "Many people visit sleep centers post-holidays due to exhaustion. Enjoying the season is challenging when you're rising early, retiring late, and stressed. Sleep deprivation hinders your holiday spirit."
Here are some tips from the AASM to ensure better sleep during the holidays:
- Take Time to Relax: Even with a busy schedule, designate a stopping point in the evening. Allow your mind to unwind for improved sleep quality.
- Maintain a Consistent Sleep Schedule: Stick to regular bedtimes and wake-up times. Incorporate calming rituals like a warm bath, a light snack, or a few minutes of reading before bed.
- Plan Holiday Tasks in Advance: Allocate time earlier in the day for chores like gift wrapping, decorating, and meal planning. Keep these "appointments" in your daily planner to stay organized.
- Moderate Eggnog and Coffee: Enjoy holiday treats, but be mindful of alcoholic and caffeinated beverages at evening parties, as they can disrupt your sleep pattern.
By prioritizing rest, you’ll enhance your holiday experience and embrace the festivities with renewed energy.
