If you aren’t enjoying solid sleep for a minimum of seven hours, chances are your body needs more rest. (And no, napping doesn’t count.)

If you spend nights tossing and turning or you are sleeping well for less than seven hours, you are interfering with your ability to focus and complete complex tasks, and you are increasing your risk for Alzheimer’s.

Use the frigid weather as an excuse to hit the sheets early.
