Aim for a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends.
Dim lights in the evening and avoid screens before bed.
Develop a calming bedtime ritual like taking a warm bath or reading a book.
Physical activity improves sleep, but avoid strenuous workouts close to bedtime.
The blue light emitted by electronics disrupts sleep cycles.
Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
Avoid heavy meals and stimulants like caffeine and alcohol before bed.
Short naps (20-30 minutes) are beneficial, but long naps can disrupt nighttime sleep.
Chronic stress can wreak havoc on your sleep. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing.
If sleep problems persist, consult a doctor to rule out underlying medical conditions.
