10 Hacks to Ensure You Sleep Better: Limit Screen Time Before Bed, Avoid Caffeine and More

Getting a good night's sleep is one of the most important things we can do. It improves cognitive function, physical and mental health, and overall productivity. But many struggle when it comes to catching their Z's. Here are 10 ways to turn that around! 1. Make your bedroom sleep-friendly. Ensure it's dark, quiet and cool. Invest in a comfortable bed and cozy pillows. 2. Create a relaxing bedtime routine. Take a warm bath, read a book or listen to calming music. 3. Limit screen time before bed. The blue light emitted from electronic devices can suppress melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep. 4. Establish a regular sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends. 5. Avoid napping during the day. Long naps can disrupt your natural sleep-wake cycle. If you must nap, keep it short (20 minutes or less). 6. Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed. Caffeine is a stimulant that can interfere with sleep, while alcohol may initially make you drowsy but can disrupt sleep later in the night. 7. Exercise regularly. Physical activity can improve sleep quality, but avoid strenuous exercise too close to bedtime. 8. Manage stress. Stress can interfere with sleep. Find healthy ways to cope with stress, such as exercise, meditation or yoga. 9. Get enough sunlight during the day. Sunlight helps regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle. 10. See a doctor if needed. If you have a persistent sleep problems, such as insomnia or sleep apnea, talk to your physician.
