The reason sleep hygiene helps both with sleep quality and daytime alertness is because a good night’s sleep is the first step to regulate a healthy daytime/nighttime cycle and be as active and productive as possible.
Here are some sleep hygiene practices you could do to help regulate your sleep cycle:
- Try not to nap during the day, and if you do, keep your naps shorter than 30 minutes.
- Don’t have any stimulants before bedtime, this includes sugar, nicotine and alcohol.
- Exercise, at any point of time during the day, but try to avoid it close to bedtime.
- Don’t over eat, heavy and fatty foods can trigger indigestion and disrupt your sleep.
- Make sure to get enough sunlight during the day, and limit time spent in the bedroom if you’re not planning on sleeping.
