  • Struggling to Wake Up in Winter? Expert Tips to Beat Morning Grogginess
    Dr. Zweig highlights that "melatonin, a sleep hormone, continues to be produced in the dark," causing grogginess. To combat this, he suggests using bright lights or a natural light alarm, going to bed earlier, and maintaining a warm environment. Additionally, healthy eating, regular exercise, and limiting alcohol can improve sleep quality.

  • Quote on what foods are good for sleep:
    In my opinion, a better question than what to eat for better sleep is what NOT to eat. Caffeine, even 8 hours before bed, can impact sleep, and caffeine can be hidden in a lot of food and drinks. Alcohol can have a big negative impact on sleep, including limiting both the duration and quality of sleep. And quality sleep is directly related to overall health, so diets high in sugars and saturated fats, especially before bed, can decrease overall sleep and restfulness.
