Sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Poor sleep impacts immunity, memory, weight, and mood. Practicing good sleep hygiene improves not just how long you sleep, but how well.
1. Set a Regular Sleep Schedule
Your body loves consistency. Going to bed and waking up at the same time helps regulate hormones like melatonin.
2. Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment
- Cool room temperature
- Blackout curtains
- No noise or distractions
- Comfortable pillow and mattress
3. Wind Down Naturally
An hour before bed:
- Turn off screens
- Dim the lights
- Read a book or stretch
4. Avoid Stimulants
Cut caffeine after 3 PM. Skip heavy meals and alcohol close to bedtime.
5. Reduce Stress
Meditation, journaling, or aromatherapy can calm your mind. Anxiety is one of the biggest sleep disruptors.
Prioritizing sleep is one of the most underrated wellness habits.
