Sleep hygiene
Sleep hygiene refers to habits that support better sleep. It includes routines, light, and winding down.
Definition
Sleep hygiene focuses on consistent habits such as a regular bedtime, lower light in the evening, and limiting stimulating activities. Small changes can improve sleep quality over time. It is not about perfection; it is about consistency. When sleep is difficult, gentle routines can help.
