\n<\/a>Whether it\u2019s a high-pressure job, a bad relationship, or trying to remember the words to our national anthem<\/a> \u2013 life can be stressful! And when you feel anxious, it can lead to sleep problems and a constant feeling of fatigue.<\/p>\n

We spoke with FFF board advisor and wellness coach Dr. Jay <\/a>about how to get a more restful sleep and wake up energized every day!<\/p>\n

– Go to sleep at the same time each night.<\/strong> A steady routine helps reinforce your body’s sleep-wake cycle.<\/p>\n

– Get regular exercise<\/strong>. Studies have shown that consistent physical activity can lead to better sleep. That, and watching James Franco host the Oscars.<\/p>\n

– Avoid eating large meals late in the da<\/strong>y. Finish dinner two hours before bedtime and try not to snack in between.<\/p>\n

– For a more high-tech approach check out Zeo,<\/a><\/strong> a lightweight wireless headband with a bedside display that acts as your personal sleep coach (get free shipping with the code FABFIT11). Combined with Zeo\u2019s online analytical tools<\/a>, the device will analyze and improve your sleep patterns.<\/p>\n

As far as waking up…<\/p>\n

– Set your alarm clock to your favorite song<\/strong> and ban that screeching clock! Try making a playlist of great, upbeat songs to wake up to.<\/p>\n

– Do some jumping jacks<\/strong> right when you wake up. Dr Jay explains, \u201cMoving your large muscle groups when you get out of bed gets your circulation going \u2013 you\u2019ll wake up quicker.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Still can\u2019t get out of bed?<\/strong> Try putting a picture of Nick Nolte\u2019s mug shot<\/a> on your nightstand. Nothing like a good scare to get the day going!<\/p>\n
