Your Toes Know



Get yourself ready for sleep by warming up your feet.

In addition to having a quiet, dark room to sleep in, having warm feet
also may help trigger sleepy feelings, research suggests. The body
naturally dilates blood vessels in the hands and feet and releases
heat from these extremities in preparation for sleep. Warming your
feet with socks and then removing the socks would mimic this sleep
preparation process.

RealAge Benefit: Getting 6 to 8 hours of sleep per night
can make your RealAge as much as 3 years younger.
