Some things a person can do to improve sleep quality are:

• Avoiding sleeping in when you have had enough sleep.

• Going to bed around the same time each night.

• Spending more time outside and being more active during the day.

• Reducing stress through exercise, therapy, or other means.

Summary Sleep is a vital, often neglected, component of every person’s overall health and well-being. Sleep is important because it enables the body to repair and be fit and ready for another day. Getting adequate rest may also help prevent excess weight gain, heart disease, and increased illness duration.
