3 Easy Ways to Improve Your Sleep Hygiene

Double Chevron Left Back to Wellness

There’s nothing worse than tossing and turning at night and waking up feeling super groggy the next day. That’s why having proper sleep habits - aka proper sleep hygiene - is so essential for your health, mood and wellbeing.

But where can you start? Don’t worry - Polysleep has you covered with 3 easy ways to improve your sleep hygiene.

1. Maintain a consistent sleep schedule

Make sure to get up at the same time every day, including weekends and vacations. The important thing is that your sleep schedule works for you and that you get at least 7-8 hours of slumber every night.

Polysleep Pro Tip: Don’t go to bed unless you’re sleepy and if you aren’t able to fall asleep after 20 minutes, get out of bed and return when you’re ready for some Zzz’s.

2. Avoid coffee before bed

As much as you love your hot cup of joe, consuming caffeine in the afternoon or evening is not recommended as it can disrupt your sleep cycle.

Polysleep Pro Tip: If you still want your afternoon coffee fix, aim to stop at least four to six hours before bed so it doesn’t impede on your sleep. However, if you’re particularly sensitive to its effects, you may want to stop at your morning cup or avoid it altogether.

3. Avoid frequent napping

While naps are not inherently bad for you, frequent daytime napping could impede your ability to sleep at night as well as increase your risk of high blood pressure and stroke.

Polysleep Pro Tip: You should aim to nap for no longer than 20–30 minutes. Also, avoid napping after 3 p.m. as it’s too close to bedtime and can interrupt your sleep cycle.


Polysleep Takeaway

By incorporating any of these useful tips, you’ll improve your sleep hygiene by retraining your mind and body for a better night’s sleep. The benefits you’ll see in your overall mood and wellbeing are priceless!
