Setting an alarm is one of the last things we do before going to bed but how many of us set an alarm to mark the beginning of bedtime? That’s the advice we’ve been given by a longevity doctor and sleep health expert.
“I'm a big proponent of alarms going to bed, not just alarms for waking up,” says Dr. Jennifer Timmons, MD, a longevity physician. Setting an alarm to signal that it’s time for bed helps us stick to a regular bedtime, which researchers say could add as much as four years to your life.
