HABITS FOR BETTER SLEEP

For a good bedtime routine, begin these habits at least 60 minutes before bed, though some people may need up to 90 minutes to transition from an active state to relaxation.

Here’s How to Create a Perfect Night Routine for Better Sleep:

Artificial light from lamps and screens at night can interfere by suppressing melatonin, the hormone that promotes sleep. Dimming the lights signals your brain that it's time to wind down.

Getting tasks out of your head and onto paper can prevent them from occupying your mind as you try to unwind.

A survey revealed that bedtime readers not only slept better but also made healthier choices and had a more positive outlook on life.

Slow-paced music, ideally around 60 beats per minute, can help relax the mind and promote better sleep by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.

Yoga and stretching help calm the mind and ease the transition to sleep by shifting focus from thoughts to the body.
