Sleep is vital to our overall health – but what do we do when we experience seasons of sleeplessness? Here are a few tips to try when you find yourself counting sheep instead of getting Zzzzs.

• Stick to a sleep schedule 
• Pay attention to what you eat and drink 
• Create a restful environment  
• Limit daytime naps 
• Include physical activity in your daily routine 
• Manage worries 

Know when to contact your doctor: nearly everyone has an occasional sleepless night, but if you often have trouble sleeping, contact your doctor.
