Sleep hygiene basics: building a restful routine
Simple, consistent habits that prepare your brain for deeper, more restorative sleep.
Sleep hygiene refers to a set of behavioural practices that support consistent, high-quality sleep. Most of them are free and take effect within a few weeks.
“Sleep is the single most effective thing we can do to reset our brain and body health each day.”
— Matthew Walker, Why We Sleep
A consistent wake time, even on weekends, is the single most powerful lever in sleep hygiene.
