Sleep Tip We Like

Elevating your legs 20 minutes before bed can help you sleep better by promoting the drainage of fluids from your lower extremities back towards your bladder. This process reduces fluid retention in the legs and encourages more efficient urine production. As a result, your body may naturally empty the bladder more effectively before sleep, reducing the likelihood of nighttime awakenings to urinate, leading to a more uninterrupted and restful sleep. This can be especially useful for those that wake many times during the night. Be sure to elevate your feet and legs at least 6 inches above your heart, and you will be sure to feel the benefits.
