Introduction

If you’re not getting enough rest, it might be time to take a look at on how to improve your sleep hygiene. Sleep hygiene is a set of habits that can help you get a good night’s sleep. Improving it can be an important step in getting the rest you need. There are a number of simple things you can do to improve…

 

Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed

Caffeine can stay in your system for up to eight hours, so it’s best to avoid it after lunch. Alcohol may make you feel drowsy at first, but it can actually disrupt your sleep later in the night.


Establish a regular sleep schedule 

Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day can help regulate your body’s natural sleep rhythm. Also consider creating a relaxing bedtime routine. This can include taking a warm bath, reading a book, or stretching. Doing these things can help your body and mind wind down so you can fall asleep more easily.

 

Get enough exercise during the day. 

Exercise can help improve your sleep by making you tired at night. But be sure to avoid exercising too close to bedtime, as it can make it harder to asleep.


Conclusion

For a better nights rest avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed, establishing a regular sleep schedule, and creating a relaxing bedtime routine. Getting enough exercise during the day can also help you sleep better at night. Making these basic changes to your sleep hygiene habits can improve your sleep and help you feel more rested during the day.
