Establishing a good sleep routine involves several strategies: - Consistent Bedtime and Wake Time: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on days off. - Sleep Environment: Ensure the bedroom is dark, cool, and quiet. Consider using blackout curtains and earplugs. - Pre-Sleep Routine: Engage in relaxing activities before bed, such as reading or taking a warm bath. - Limit Stimulants: Avoid caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime. - Technology: Minimize screen time at least an hour before bed to reduce exposure to blue light.
