Sleep Hygiene Tips

⏰

Consistent Sleep/Wake Time

Going to bed and waking up at the same time daily β€” even on weekends β€” is one of the strongest levers for sleep quality, reinforcing your circadian rhythm more than total hours alone.

πŸŒ‘

Cool, Dark Room

A cooler room (around 18-20Β°C / 65-68Β°F) and minimal light both support the body's natural drop in core temperature that helps trigger sleep.

β˜•

Caffeine & Alcohol Timing

Caffeine's half-life is roughly 5-6 hours, so an afternoon coffee can still be affecting sleep at night. Alcohol may help you fall asleep faster but fragments sleep later in the night.

πŸ“±

Screens & Blue Light

Bright screens close to bedtime can delay melatonin release β€” dimming lights and screens in the last hour before bed helps signal to your body that it's time to wind down.

A Wind-Down Routine

A consistent pre-sleep routine (reading, stretching, journaling) cues your brain that sleep is coming, the same way a routine helps a child fall asleep.

🧘

Managing Racing Thoughts

If your mind races at bedtime, writing tomorrow's worries or to-do list down earlier in the evening β€” a "worry dump" β€” can reduce the mental load your brain tries to process at bedtime.
