Like it or not, a good night’s rest — like a solid break from work<\/a> — increases productivity in the long run. In a new blog section nicknamed Producteevity<\/a><\/em>, we recently wrote about 3 Ways to Boost Brainpower<\/a> and you guessed it — sleep is one of them.<\/p>\n

In our epic quest to share the latest about getting the most out of work while still having a life, we found an interesting resource and related question on Quora: What methods can I use to clear my mind to help me concetrate in the day and sleep at night?<\/a><\/p>\n

Below is an answer summary we crafted, with some useful takeways.<\/p>\n

\n
During the day, be mindful of the foods you eat, as well as your caffeine intake.<\/li>\n
Exercise, but not too late at night.<\/li>\n
Maintain a cozy sleeping environment, paying attention to light especially.<\/li>\n
Prepare for bed with warm things — a warm shower, a warm drink.<\/li>\n
Before going to bed, write down what’s on your mind. A journal may be helpful.<\/li>\n
Don’t remain restless in bed for prolonged periods of time. If having difficulty falling asleep, train your mind with a mantra, recall a positive memory, or simply breathe deeply.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
We’d love to hear what you think! Feel free to comment on this post, or better yet add to the accumulating body of wisdom being amassed on Quora. <\/p>\n
And don’t forget: Sleep well. Work better. <\/p>\n
