💤 What is sleep hygiene?
It refers to the habits and routines that help promote restful, quality sleep.

To improve your sleep, try:
• Creating a bedroom that’s quiet, dark and cool.
• Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day.
• Limiting screen time and avoiding caffeine in the evening.

Good sleep hygiene is especially important if you have trouble waking up, work non-traditional hours, or aren’t getting enough sleep.
