Healthy Habits for Better, Deeper & Restful Sleep

Sleep Hygiene refers to the daily habits and lifestyle practices that help you sleep better and wake up refreshed. Good sleep hygiene improves your energy levels, focus, mood, productivity, and overall health. It is also an important part of managing snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, and fatigue.

Healthy Sleep Hygiene Practices

Maintain a Regular Sleep Schedule

Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day—even on weekends. Your body loves routine.

Create a Calm Sleep Environment
  • Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet

  • Use comfortable pillows and a supportive mattress

  • Remove noise and bright lights

Limit Screen Time Before Bed

Avoid mobiles, laptops, and TV at least 60 minutes before bedtime. Blue light interferes with melatonin production.

Avoid Heavy Meals & Caffeine Late Evening
  • No caffeine after 4 PM

  • Avoid late-night sugar, spicy food, or large meals

These disrupt your sleep cycle.

Reduce Alcohol and Smoking

Both relax throat muscles and worsen snoring and sleep apnea.

Practice Relaxation Before Bed
  • Deep breathing

  • Light stretching

  • Meditation

  • Warm bath

  • Soothing music

Helps calm your mind.

Exercise Regularly

Light to moderate exercise helps you fall asleep faster, but avoid heavy workouts close to bedtime.
