The AASM&#8217;s bedtime calculator can help you determine an appropriate bedtime for your schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The AASM also offers the following advice to help avoid sleep loss:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep a consistent sleep schedule. If you tend to stay up later, make sure you allow enough time in bed to get a full night of sleep on a regular basis.<\/li>\n<li>Turn off your electronic devices 30 minutes to an hour before bedtime. Silence your notifications and charge your devices away from your bed so you&#8217;re not tempted to check social media or news alerts.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/caffeine\/article.htm\" onclick=\"wmdTrack('embd-lnk');\" rel=\"sub\">caffeine<\/a> after lunch and avoid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/alcohol_metabolism\/article.htm\" onclick=\"wmdTrack('embd-lnk');\" rel=\"webmdlt\">alcohol<\/a> near bedtime, as both can disrupt sleep.<\/li>\n<li>Create a comfortable bedroom environment. Keep your room quiet, dark and a bit cool.
