Sleep hygiene refers to the habits that help set you up for a good night's sleep. You can optimize your routine and your environment to help you sleep better. But there's no-one-size-fits-all solution here. It's all about finding what works best for you.

You may need to try different methods to figure out what gives you the best sleep. But it is also important to know that improving sleep hygiene may not resolve underlying sleep problems or mental health disorders. If you are having trouble sleeping, and you can't find a healthy way to improve your sleep, it's best to talk to a doctor or mental health professional.

Below are 11 tips to improve your sleep hygiene and get a better night's sleep.

Create a Bedtime Routine

Having a bedtime routine means that you consistently perform activities that wind you down for sleep. Repeating your routine each night will help signal to your body that it's almost time to rest.

Some examples of activities in bedtime routines include -

➡️Sipping some peppermint tea (which promotes relaxation).

➡️Taking a warm shower.

➡️Changing into comfy pajamas.

➡️Flossing and brushing your teeth.

➡️Doing some light stretching.

➡️Reading a few pages of a book.

➡️Listening to a sleep meditation.
