What Sleep Hygiene Means

Sleep hygiene refers to habits and environmental factors that affect how well and how consistently you sleep.

Keep a Consistent Schedule

Going to bed and waking up at similar times — even on weekends — helps regulate your body’s internal clock.

Watch Light Exposure

Bright light, especially from screens, in the evening can delay your body’s natural signal to wind down.

Create a Wind-Down Routine

A short, consistent pre-sleep routine signals to your body that it’s time to shift into rest mode.
