Sleeping Hygiene: A Guide to Healthy Sleeping Habits - September 12th, 2021

So many of us have difficulties with sleeping! These issues could be attributed to ANYTHING. Insomnia, Sleep Apnea, or even your occasional jet lag from your most recent vacation can play a vital role in the overall health of your sleep. What is sleep hygiene you ask? Sleep hygiene is the habits and practices that are conducive to sleeping well on a regular basis. Essentially, sleep hygiene is every little thing that you do in a day leading up to you going to sleep. Some of these things could include going to school or work, playing sports, going to the doctor, or even eating.

Below are tips for a sleep hygiene routine that you may find helpful:

Set a schedule - Establishing a regular sleep schedule every day of the week aids in better sleep hygiene. If possible, don’t sleep in for more than an hour, even on your days off.

Don’t force yourself to sleep - We’ve all been there! Sometimes it is difficult to fall asleep on your own. If you haven’t fallen asleep after 20 minutes, get up and do something calming. You heard me right, calming. Technology (TV, phone screens, or anything stimulating) could lead to you being more awake.

Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine - Consuming alcohol, caffeine, or nicotine can affect your ability to fall asleep and the quality of sleep. Caffeine can stay in your body for up to 12 hours.

Avoid napping - I know everyone enjoys their occasional cat nap, but napping can drastically affect your overall sleep at night. Avoid taking naps that are over one hour long or that are later in the day.

Use your bed only for sleep - We’re all guilty of binge-watching Netflix and snacking while lying in bed after a long day at work. Our bodies associate our bed with sleep. When we begin doing other activities such as watching tv, snacking, or coloring in our beds our body begins to associate those things with our bed making it easier for us to stay alert.

Exercise and eat well - A healthy diet and exercise can lead to better sleep. However, big meals 2 hours before going to bed or strenuous exercise can make it more difficult to fall asleep.

Sleep in a comfortable environment - It’s so important to sleep in a comfortable environment. I know several of us have had to sleep over at someone’s house or in a hotel and have never been able to get comfortable, and in some cases lost out on sleep. Creating a comfortable environment will aid in better sleep. Use earplugs, fans, white noise, black-out curtains, or even an eye mask.

Sleep is not meant to be a difficult task. If we can make small changes throughout our daily routine, sleep can come more naturally. Remember, sleep is the best meditation.
