Tips for restful sleep. Routine!

Hi Psychologist Yes, waking up early can help regulate your routine, but the key is consistency—sleeping and waking up at the same time every day. Your body has an internal clock (circadian rhythm) that thrives on routine. Here are some tips for a good sleep routine: 1. Fix Your Sleep Schedule – Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily, even on weekends. 2. Limit Screen Time – Avoid phones and laptops at least 30-60 minutes before bed. The blue light disrupts melatonin (your sleep hormone). 3. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine – Try reading, meditation, or deep breathing before sleep. 4. Avoid Caffeine & Heavy Meals Late at Night – Caffeine stays in your system for 6-8 hours and can interfere with sleep. 5. Get Morning Sunlight – Exposure to natural light early in the morning helps regulate your body clock and improves sleep quality. 6. Keep Your Bedroom Cool & Dark – A comfortable temperature and minimal light help signal your body that it’s time to sleep. 7. Exercise Regularly – Even 30 minutes of activity during the day can improve sleep, but avoid intense workouts close to bedtime. If you struggle with sleep despite trying these, there might be underlying stress or anxiety.
