Introduction 🛁
“Sleep hygiene” means the daily habits and environment that set you up for healthy sleep. A few simple changes can make nights calmer and mornings brighter.
Evening Routine 🌙
- Pick a wind‑down window (20–30 minutes) for reading, stretching, or journaling.
- Dim lights and reduce screens to cue melatonin.
- Keep snacks light and avoid alcohol near bedtime.
Bedroom Environment 🛏️

- Supportive mattress and pillows that fit your sleep position.
- Reserve the bed for sleep and intimacy only.
