What is Sleep Hygiene ??
‘Sleep hygiene’ is the term used to describe good
sleep habits
Keep a consistent sleep schedule
Go to bed and get up at the same time each day,
even on weekends and days off!
Sticking to a consistent schedule may also help
reduce daytime sleepiness.
Create a relaxing bedtime routine
Keep a consistent and relaxing routine for bedtime
like meditation, listening to soothing music,
gentle stretches, warm bath or shower
Keeping a consistent routine
helps your body recognize that it’s
bedtime when you start the routine.
This may help you fall asleep more
quickly.
Turn off electronic devices before you go to sleep
Electronic devices like your phone emit blue light, which
can reduce the melatonin levels in your body.
Melatonin is a chemical that controls your sleep/wake
cycle. When your melatonin levels dip, it can be more
difficult to fall asleep.
Devices that emit blue light can also distract you,
keeping your brain alert
Exercise regularly
As little as 30 minutes of aerobic exercise per day can
improve your sleep quality, as well as your overall
health, but try not to do strenuous exercise in the 4
hours before bedtime.
Make your sleep environment work for you
A cool, dark, quiet room may help you fall asleep
and stay asleep more easily
It’s also important to make sure you have a
comfortable mattress, pillows, and bed linens.
