Sleep hygiene
Sleep hygiene is a set of habits and conditions that support regular, sufficient and restorative sleep.
Definition
Sleep hygiene includes, among others: regularity of sleep and wake-up times, limiting caffeine and alcohol before bed, reducing exposure to light in the evening, a peaceful wind-down ritual and appropriate conditions in the bedroom. It does not replace the treatment of sleep disorders, but is often the basis for improving the quality of rest.

Practice and life
For seven days, set a fixed wake-up time and a 30-minute wind-down ritual without work, intense screens and difficult conversations.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to treat sleep hygiene as a one-time trick. Sleep responds to the rhythm of the entire day, not just the last five minutes before falling asleep.
