• Get an adequate amount of sleep every night. Identify the amount of sleep you need to be fully alert all day long and get that amount every night.
  
  
• Make up for lost sleep as soon as possible. Pay back your "sleep debts" in a timely fashion.
  
  
• Establish a regular sleep schedule. Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up without an alarm clock at the same time every morning − including weekends.
  
  
• Get continuous sleep. For sleep to be rejuvenating, you should get your required amount of sleep in one continuous block.
