Sleep Hygiene

Everyone knows about the importance of our daily hygiene, but what do you know about sleep hygiene? A few daily sleep hygiene habits can make the difference between a restful night of sleep and a restless night of sleep. In this article we will discuss sleep hygiene and how it can help your sleep!

Whether it is the weekend or the weekday it is important to have a consistent sleep schedule. Having a consistent sleep schedule helps set your body’s internal clock where it is much easier to fall asleep every night. When making plans make sure you are working around your sleep schedule and prioritizing your sleep. If you have an inconsistent sleep schedule, try making small adjustments until you can settle into the right schedule for you.

Another very helpful sleep hygiene habit is to have a nightly routine. Make sure to avoid screens 30-60 minutes before your planned sleeping time to avoid blue light interference. Dimming your lights as you are getting ready to sleep also help with avoiding blue light interference. Try meditating or reading a book 30 minutes before you sleep to put your mind at ease. A good nightly routine is highly individualized so find what works best for you!
