Sleep hygiene refers to a set of practices and habits we set for ourselves that promote a healthy and restful sleep. In this first part, we will begin to explore the importance of sleep hygiene and provide effective strategies to improve your sleep habits for better overall well being.
It is important first to understand sleep hygiene as a neutral term. It is an all encompassing term that considers our behavioral and environmental factors that can either support or hinder our sleep quality. By focusing on good practices while minimizing the negative ones can help regulate your body’s internal clock and improve the quality and duration of your sleep, allowing you to have your optimal physical, mental, and emotional health.
One of the biggest elements to work towards is a consistent sleep-wake schedule. Having a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and waking at the same time every day, even on weekends, will help regulate your circadian rhythm and makes falling asleep and waking up more natural everyday. There are many smaller bits that go into this too such as creating a relaxing bedtime routine and optimizing your sleep environment, all things we will cover!
