Good sleep habits, often called "sleep hygiene," can significantly improve sleep quality.
Helpful strategies include:
- Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule
- Going to bed and waking up at similar times each day
- Getting regular physical activity
- Spending time outdoors during daylight hours
- Limiting caffeine late in the day
- Creating a cool, dark, and quiet sleeping environment
- Limiting screen exposure before bedtime
- Developing a relaxing evening routine
Small improvements in daily habits can often lead to meaningful improvements in sleep quality over time.
