Sleep struggles are common, especially during stressful periods. A rough night can make the next day feel harder, which can then affect the next night. Consistent, simple habits are often the most useful place to begin.
A Few Things You Can Try Today
- Keep a consistent wake time, even after a poor night, to help reset your sleep rhythm.
- Avoid screens for 30 to 60 minutes before bed to reduce late-night stimulation.
- Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and used mainly for sleep, so your body more reliably associates it with rest instead of wakeful activity.
