Late nights, festive gatherings, travel, and disrupted routines can all make sleep harder during the holidays — and lack of rest can affect everything from mood and immunity to focus and energy.
Getting back to basics can help: dimming lights in the evening, limiting screens before bed, and keeping a consistent sleep window when possible. Some people also use melatonin short-term to help reset their sleep schedule after late nights or travel — but it’s best used only when needed, at the lowest effective dose, and not as a nightly habit.
If sleep issues are ongoing or affecting your daily life, a Bluenose Health care provider can help explore what’s really going on.
