We all know how important a good night’s sleep is. Not only do we need enough hours of rest, but the quality of that sleep is equally crucial. Still, everyone has a rough night now and then — you can’t fall asleep, your mind is racing, or you’re tossing and turning, and before you know it, the alarm signals the start of a new day. After a poor night’s sleep, the day often feels harder, and the effects can linger all day long.
That’s why we’d love to share a few tips to help improve your sleep:
Stick to a consistent bedtime routine
Humans are creatures of habit. Establish a nighttime ritual you repeat every evening so your body recognizes it’s time to wind down.
Turn off screens at least an hour before bed
Screens emit blue light, which signals your brain to stay alert instead of getting sleepy.
Meditate to relax
You can also read a book or take a warm bath — whatever helps you unwind and release the stress of the day.
Avoid exercising right before bed
Working out boosts your energy — which is great during the day, but not when you’re trying to fall asleep.
Don’t go to bed too full or too hungry
Balance is key. A neutral stomach lets your body fully focus on rest — not on digestion or a growling belly.
