You can Improve Your Sleep using a Few Tips

Sleep matters for our performance, mood, and health. Many of us can improve our sleep. We hope these tips help you!

  1. Embrace a consistent sleep schedule! Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends, helps regulate your body's internal clock for better sleep quality.

  2. Create a sleep-friendly environment. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Consider using blackout curtains, earplugs, or white noise machines to enhance your sleep space.

  3. Limit exposure to blue light before bed. Turn off screens at least an hour before bedtime to help your body prepare for sleep. Try reading a book (not on an e-reader or phone) instead!

  4. Watch your intake of caffeine and alcohol. Avoid consuming them close to bedtime as they can disrupt your sleep cycle. Opt for a soothing herbal tea instead.

  5. Relaxation techniques before bed can work wonders. Try deep breathing, meditation, or gentle yoga to calm your mind and body. A relaxed state promotes better sleep.

    Try a few of the above. Among various habits to build, these are relaxing and enjoyable. Notice how you feel the next day after a good night's sleep. That will motivate you further. Happy Sleeping!!
