If I had a dollar for every time I heard, “I’m just a bad sleeper,” I could buy a lifetime supply of herbal tea. 😄 The truth is, most of us can improve our sleep with just a few small tweaks, no complicated routines, no expensive gadgets.
Here are five simple, actionable tips I share with my clients:
1. Set a Consistent Sleep Schedule Your body thrives on routine. Pick a bedtime and wake‑up time, even on weekends, and stick to it. Even a 15‑minute shift toward earlier can help regulate your internal clock.
2. Power Down Devices The blue light from your phone, tablet, or TV tells your brain it’s still daytime. Start with just 15 minutes of screen‑free time before bed, then work toward 30–60 minutes. Blue light blocking glasses help too!
3. Keep it Cool Your body sleeps best in a cooler room—think 60–67°F. Try lighter bedding or a fan to help your body temperature drop for deep sleep.
4. Cut the Caffeine Cut‑Off Caffeine can stick around in your system for up to 8 hours. Try setting a “no caffeine after 12 p.m.” rule. Your future sleeping self will thank you.
5. Create a Wind‑Down Ritual You don’t need an elaborate routine. Dim the lights, sip herbal tea, stretch for five minutes, or jot down tomorrow’s to‑do list. Pick one calming ritual and make it yours.
Better sleep doesn’t have to be complicated—just start small, stay consistent, and your body will do the rest.
