9. Don’t you spend too much time in bed?

Reed is generally best not to spend more than seven and a half hours in bed if he gets about seven hours of sleep every night.

This is because spending more time in bed can be counterproductive. “More time in bed will lead to more waking hours in bed,” Reid said.

“It leads to more tossing and turning at night, and more worries, stress, and anxiety related to waking up in bed,” he said. “Over time, it makes it difficult to fall asleep by making you worry or wake up rather than sleep and rest.”
