      Adults need between 7 and 9 hours each night.  Dr Harvey Karp told FoxNewsHealth.com that sleep deprivation can lead to unhealthy parents.  

      "To ensure that new moms and dads get some sleep, Karp said parents can teach their baby to sleep better from the very first week of life with two important tips."

      “Safe swaddling; arms down, not over-heating the baby and always sleeping on the back,” he said. “And the second part is white noise --all naps and all night. Those two things help to turn on the calming reflex, which gets the baby into a very profound sense of sleep.”

      Not getting enough sleep? The problem may be in front of you.

      Researchers have long known that light suppresses melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) says beware of blue wavelengths, the kind emitted by energy efficient light bulbs and electronic gadgets.

      Studies have linked blue light and poor sleep to depression, diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular problems.

      Watch this ABC7 video on how gadgets affect your sleep

      So what's a gadget addict to do?

    • Have a regular bed time routine
    • Sleep in a cool, dark room
    • Most importantly, power down early, ideally two to three hours before bed
    • * * * TURN OFF YOUR ELECTRONICS 2 - 3 HOURS BEFORE BED * * *

      As the season changes to summer, it’s time to clean the house and change the bed sheets. You can put away the flannel and bring out the summer sheets.

      Summer Bed Linens - lightweight natural materials are best for summertime
      Cotton Bed Sheets - natural and breathes well
      Bamboo Bed Sheets - softer and smooth than the finest cotton

      This hot August I believe you'll thank yourself for a cool comfortable bed

      According to study data, the answer is yes. But not as much less as we might think.

      A 2010 sleep laboratory study from the United Kingdom's University of Surrey had 110 healthy adults go to bed at the same time and spend eight hours there. Scientists measured the amount of time the subjects slept and compared the averages by age:

      Age 20-30: 433.5 minutes (7.23 hours)

      Age 40-55: 409.9 minutes (6.83 hours)

      Age 66-83: 390.4 minutes (6.51 hours)
