Simple and effective habits to improve your sleep quality and overall well-being.
Turn off your cellphone, TV, and computer 1-2 hours before bedtime to help your mind relax and prepare for restful sleep.
Ensure your room is completely dark. Darkness signals your body to produce melatonin, the sleep hormone.
Try soaking your feet in warm water before bed. This can help relax your body and prepare you for sleep.
Avoid eating right before bed. Give your body time to digest food, which can improve sleep quality.
Go to bed with a calm mind. Resolving any conflicts before sleep can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Spend 30 minutes focusing on your breathing, or try chanting OM or a soothing mantra before bed. This can help you wind down.
