The Global Council on Brain Health (GCBH) report recommends the following procedures to improve sleep: (1) get up at the same time every day, seven days a week; (2) restrict fluids and food three hours before going to bed to avoid sleep disruption; (3) avoid using over-the-counter (OTC) medications for sleep, as these can have negative side-effects including disrupted sleep quality and impaired cognitive functioning.
