Improved Sleep

An improved sleep routine involves identifying and addressing any habits or factors that may be interfering with your sleep, such as eating late at night or watching TV in bed. It also includes developing healthy sleep habits, such as sticking to a regular sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and electronics close to bedtime, and creating a comfortable sleep environment.

The 6 habits

What you'll do, day by day.

  1. Habit 01 · 10 min

    Set a consistent bedtime

    Go to bed at the same time every night to help regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.

  2. Habit 02 · 10 min

    Avoid screens for at least 1 hour before bed

    Try activities like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or guided imagery to help reduce stress and improve relaxation.
