- Dim the lights โ Lower lighting in the evening signals to your body that it's time to rest.
- Do something relaxing โ Reading, stretching, or gentle breathing can ease the transition to sleep.
- Avoid heavy meals โ A large dinner close to bedtime may disrupt sleep. Aim to finish eating 2โ3 hours before bed.
- Write down worries โ If your mind races, jotting thoughts on paper can help you let go before sleep.
- Get up if you can't sleep โ After 20 minutes awake, try a quiet activity in low light until you feel sleepy.
If you continue to experience sleep problems, consult a qualified health professional.
