Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the guideline for eating before bedtime for the best sleep?

Answer: Eat a small amount of carbohydrates or sugary foods before bed.

Because your blood sugar drops during sleep, you should have a small amount of sweet food before bed. This could be something as simple as a cracker and a small glass of juice.

2. How does alcohol affect your sleep?

Answer: It will impair my restorative sleep.

Alcohol may seem to help you sleep, but it impairs your ability to reach the deep stages of sleep. You will feel less rested, even if you get a lot of sleep.

3. When should you "give up" and get up out of bed?

Answer: After 20 minutes of not being able to sleep.

If you are in bed for 20 minutes and unable to sleep, you should get up, sit in a chair, and do something relaxing such as reading. You should not go on the computer or watch the TV as these are stimulating activities. When you feel tired again, go back to bed and try again.

4. Your clock should be in easy view, so you can tell how long you've been in bed for.

Answer: False

Seeing your clock will only cause anxiety due to not being able to sleep. As long as you have your alarm set, you should cover up the time section of your clock. In most cases, when your body tells you to roll over, 15 to 20 minutes has passed. It is also beneficial to place your clock where you can't reach it so you need to get out of bed to turn the alarm off.

5. When is the best time to have a nap?

Answer: Before noon.

It is recommended that you do not nap. However, if you absolutely must, napping in the morning will have the least impact on your upcoming sleep.

6. If you are getting sufficient hours of sleep but are still feeling tired during the day, you should see your doctor.

Answer: True

Your doctor will be able to test for physical reasons that you are feeling so tired, and recommend short-term sleep aids if necessary.

7. How many hours of sleep does an adult need each night?

Answer: It depends on the person.

This is highly dependent on each person. Try going to bed earlier until you feel rested when you get up. Do not change your wake-up time as waking up at the same time every day is very important to a good sleep schedule.

8. Your bedroom should be warm and dark.

Answer: False

Your bedroom should be dark, but it should be cool.

9. Which of the following are important habits to improve your sleep?

Answer: All of these are important.

A set routine is important so your body gets ready to go to sleep. A warm shower or bath is beneficial because your body temperature will drop slightly when you fall asleep. Setting your alarm at the same time every day (even weekends) is vital to being able to get to sleep easily.

10. How does strenuous exercising affect your sleep?

Answer: It is most beneficial if done early in the day.

All exercise is beneficial, however it is usually not recommended right before bed as it will stimulate you rather than relaxing you. Some mild stretching and deep breathing will help you to get ready for bed.
