STRATEGIES FOR MAXIMIZING SLEEP_sandbox

Create routines to tell the brain you want to go to sleep earlier.

Do these around the same time every night to get the body into a rhythm:

  • WIND DOWN: brush teeth, wash face, get into PJs.
  • PUT AWAY ALL DEVICES at least an hour before you want to fall asleep.
  • DIM LIGHTS or use a smaller reading light.
  • AVOID CAFFEINE (and for many people, sugar too) in the evening.
  • Do you have any other strategies that work for you?
