Tips for Better Sleep
Maintain a Consistent Sleep Schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends1. This helps regulate your body’s internal clock.
Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine: Engage in calming activities before bed, such as reading, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation exercises.
Optimize Your Sleep Environment: Ensure your bedroom is cool, dark, and quiet. Consider using earplugs, an eye mask, or a white noise machine if needed.
Limit Exposure to Blue Light: Reduce screen time from phones, tablets, and computers at least an hour before bed. Blue light can interfere with your body’s production of melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep.
Be Mindful of Your Diet: Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime. These can disrupt your sleep cycle.
Stay Active: Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep. Just avoid vigorous exercise close to bedtime.
Manage Stress: Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga. Managing stress can significantly improve your sleep quality.
Limit Naps: While short naps can be beneficial, long or irregular napping during the day can negatively affect your nighttime sleep
