When your body needs a nap, it’s important to know how long to rest for for the benefit you’re looking for.

10–20 minute power nap: A short nap that can help with alertness and concentration without causing grogginess.
20-30 minute nap: A short nap that allows your mind and body to rest without entering deeper sleep stages.
60 minute nap: A nap that's long enough to have deep, slow-wave sleep, but end up in the lighter stages of sleep so you feel alert when you wake up.

99% of the time, we don’t recommend napping more than 60 minutes as longer can disrupt your sleep cycle at night. That being said, if your body is tired and needs it, by all means! However, sparingly is best as to keep your circadian rhythm in check.

Did you know that what you do during the day can impact how well you sleep at night? As a sleep dentist, I speak with patients every day about ways they can improve their sleep based on their behavior during the day three tips you can try today are:

1) Avoiding blue light, or the light that your electronics from your phone to your laptop to your television emit. This type of light signals to your brain that it’s time to be awake, so it’s best to avoid it near bedtime.
2) Sunlight is crucial to regulating your circadian rhythm, or natural sleep/wake cycle. Getting just a little bit of sun each day will help your body sleep better at night.
3) Lastly, limit caffeine, especially after lunch. Did you know that caffeine can stay in your system for up to 10 hours? That means that afternoon coffee might still be effecting your body when you’re trying to fall asleep!

Think of your airway as a rectangular box. When you sleep on your back, gravity presses on that box at its weakest point, causing it to collapse. When you sleep on your side, no pressure is put on that box and the airway can stay open more easily.

Pro tip: If you tend to roll onto your back while you sleep, look into a Sleep Noodle for help!

🚩 red flags to look out for that may indicate you have sleep apnea:

Mouth breathing - it’s a sign your jaw isn’t in the right position while you sleep, which can collapse your airway.

Headaches, tiredness or general wired feelings are all symptoms of poor sleep, and they can all impact your overall health!

When in doubt, there’s never any harm in getting your sleep tested. 💤

While alcohol may make you feel tired, it actually disrupts your sleep throughout the night. Your body spends time metabolizing the alcohol instead of restoring itself, meaning sleep you do get is likely frequently interrupted and low quality.

We recommend cutting back on the drinking any month of the year if it means better sleep!

Believe it or not, a lot of people are embarrassed about their sleep apnea. They are led to believe that snoring is something they should be ashamed of, when really it’s just a result of your body’s anatomy.

Trying to get your sleep check for 2026? Here are a couple of tips that we love to make a habit of getting better sleep.

1) Try to go to bed at the same time every single night. If you’re changing your bedtime, adjust it by 15 minute increments. Eventually, your body will get used to the new time.

2) Light helps signal to our bodies that it’s time to be up. Therefore, when you wake up, open your curtains or blinds and let in some light. If it’s raining, we suggest turning on some lights to help.

3) Your sleeping room, however, should be dark. Any small amount of light in your room can interfere with your circadian rhythm. We suggest using blackout curtains to make your room as dark as possible while you are sleeping.
