Cleaning Up Your Sleep Hygiene: Tips for a Better Night’s Rest

You’re not alone if you struggle to get a good night’s sleep. Poor sleep hygiene can lead to various health problems, from fatigue to depression to obesity. But the good news is that there are simple steps you can take to improve your sleep habits and get the rest you need. Here are some tips for cleaning up your sleep hygiene:

  1. Stick to a Schedule: Set a regular sleep schedule and try to stick to it, even on weekends. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day can help regulate your body’s internal clock and improve the quality of your sleep.
  2. Create a Bedtime Routine: Develop a relaxing bedtime routine to help signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. This might include taking a warm bath, reading a book, or practicing yoga or meditation.
  3. Limit Screen Time: The blue light emitted by electronic devices can disrupt your body’s natural sleep cycle, so it’s best to avoid screens for at least an hour before bed. Instead, try reading a book or listening to relaxing music.
  4. Make Your Environment Sleep-Friendly: Create a cool, dark, and quiet sleeping environment to help promote restful sleep. Invest in comfortable bedding, curtains or blinds to block out light, and earplugs or a white noise machine to mask any outside noise.
  5. Be Mindful of What You Eat and Drink: Avoid eating heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bed, as they can interfere with sleep. Instead, opt for a light snack, decaf tea, or water.

Attached is my evening routine that you can use as a template or inspiration to create your own routine. Remember, improving your sleep hygiene is a process that may take some time to see results. But by making small changes to your sleep habits and sticking with them, you can create a more restful and rejuvenating nighttime routine.
