Improving Your Wellness: What Is Good Sleep Hygiene?
Small nightly rituals that quietly change everything about how you show up.
Anchor your bedtime
The single most powerful shift is a consistent sleep and wake window — even on weekends. Your nervous system loves rhythm more than it loves catching up.
Design the environment
Cool, dark, quiet. Screens dimmed an hour before bed. Phone across the room. Your bedroom is for rest and intimacy — not scrolling and email.
Wind down on purpose
A warm shower, gentle stretching, a few pages of a book, or a simple gratitude practice signals to your body that the day is complete.
Watch the inputs
Caffeine after 2pm, heavy meals late, and doom-scrolling all rob the depth of your sleep. Small trades, big returns.
