Lifestyle changes can help you get enough sleep.

• Sleep is essential for good health. Lack of proper sleep can lead to serious chronic conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity and depression.

• Adults need at least seven hours of sleep a night, but one-third of Americans say they aren't getting enough.

• If you use a prescription sleep aid, talk to your doctor about possible side effects. Be sure to follow the medication's instructions for safe use.

• Improve your sleep without sleeping pills. Exercise more often and stick to a bedtime routine. Keep your bedroom dark and quiet. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and large meals before bed.
