What are some tips for getting a good night's sleep?
assistant
1. Aim to maintain a consistent sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day.
2. Avoid caffeinated drinks and other stimulants such as nicotine and alcohol, especially in the late afternoon/evening.
3. Get regular exercise, but avoid strenuous activity within two hours of bedtime.
4. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, such as taking a warm bath or reading a book, to help wind down.
5. Avoid screens (phones, tablets, laptops) before bed as the light from these devices can interfere with the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
6. Keep your bedroom dark, cool and quiet.
