Quality sleep is foundational to recovery and daily performance. This post highlights practices to improve your sleep hygiene.
Creating a Consistent Sleep Schedule
Going to bed and waking up at the same time daily helps regulate your body's internal clock.
Consistency improves sleep onset and overall restfulness.
Optimizing Your Sleep Environment
Keeping your bedroom dark, cool, and quiet promotes deeper sleep stages.
Invest in comfortable bedding and minimize disruptive electronics.
Reducing Stimulants and Screen Time Before Bed
Avoid caffeine and heavy meals 4-6 hours before bedtime to prevent sleep disturbances.
Limit exposure to blue light from screens which can interfere with melatonin production.
