Build a practical bedtime routine with light, temperature, and wind-down habits that help you fall asleep faster.
Why sleep hygiene matters
Good sleep comes from a repeatable evening pattern: lower stimulation, cooler air, and a bedroom that signals rest.
Dim the lights 60 minutes earlier
Switch to warm lamps, reduce phone brightness, and keep the bed for sleep.
Set a cool, quiet room
Blackout curtains, a supportive pillow, and soft bedding reduce wake-ups.
A 10-minute wind-down
Stretch lightly and write a 3-line brain dump so unfinished tasks stop looping.
Key takeaways
- Lower light and screens before bed.
- Cool, dark, tidy bedrooms reduce night waking.
- A short repeatable wind-down beats occasional perfect routines.
