10 Quick Tips for Better Sleep Tonight

1

Set a consistent bedtime

Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily, even on weekends.

2

Cool your bedroom

Keep the temperature between 60-67°F (15-19°C) for optimal sleep.

3

Dim lights before bed

Lower lighting 1-2 hours before sleep to boost melatonin production.

4

Cut caffeine by 2 PM

Caffeine's half-life means afternoon coffee affects nighttime sleep.

5

Exercise earlier

Finish vigorous workouts at least 3-4 hours before bedtime.

6

Limit alcohol

While it may help you fall asleep, alcohol disrupts sleep quality.

7

Create a wind-down routine

Spend 30-60 minutes relaxing before bed with calming activities.

8

Reserve bed for sleep

Don't work, watch TV, or scroll in bed—train your brain that bed means sleep.

9

Get morning light

Expose yourself to bright light within an hour of waking.

10

Write down worries

Jot down concerns before bed to clear your mind of racing thoughts.
