THREE TIPS - IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP
# 1 NO SCREENS AN HOUR BEFORE BED
Try reading a book or listening to an audiobook instead. You could also try deep breathing, meditation, light stretches, or yoga to relax.
# 2 NO WORK 2 HOURS BEFORE BED
Working up until bedtime keeps your brain in a problem-solving mode, making it difficult to relax. To unwind after work, you could spend time with loved ones, journal, or find a calming hobby.
# 3 NO FOOD 3 HOURS BEFORE BED
Leaving a 3-hour gap allows your body to focus on sleep rather than digestion. A light snack like a banana or a small handful of nuts can help if you're hungry.
"Sleep is not a luxury. It’s a necessity for optimal brain function and well-being."
– Dr. Matthew Walker, neuroscientist and sleep expert.
