How to Recover From a Bad Night's Sleep, According to Experts

Don't move up bedtime

By 7 p.m., your body may be begging to hit the sheets—but do your best to stay up, says Breus. Even when you're totally popped, you should stick to your regular sleep schedule. "Because your body is accustomed to going to bed at a certain time, if you go early, you will just lie there exhausted," he explains.

To make sure you're able to doze off at the right time, start prepping a few hours ahead: Power down your electronic devices—or slip on a pair of blue light-blocking glasses—and refrain from eating a large meal or drinking any alcohol.
