Good Sleep Practices
Your brain wants to have consistency; that’s just the way we are wired. If you make a bedtime schedule that you stick to, your body learns how to fall asleep on its own.
When you are creating a bedtime ritual or routine, it is important to consider a few points.
- Have a regular bedtime
- Set a consistent wake-up time
- Be aware of any stimulants or supplements you take
- No alcohol, dairy products, or cigarettes within 4 hours of bedtime
- Create routines to prepare for bed
- Be consistent

- You are able to fall asleep almost effortlessly
- Sleep is not interrupted by waking up repeatedly
