Getting enough rest
Managing today’s hectic lifestyles and interests can be tiring at the best of times.
Here are some tips from others living with MS that they find helpful in getting enough rest:
- Plan ahead and set reasonable goals. Allow for rest breaks and break things down into smaller tasks.
- Know your limits. Don’t feel guilty for saying no. Allow for rest periods or power naps during the day.
- Find a routine that works. Try to stick to a sleep routine – get up and go to bed at the same time each day. If old interests or activities become more difficult or too time consuming, replace them with new ones.
- Create space to unwind. Create a comfortable, clutter-free space at home where you can unwind
