10 Ways to Be琀琀er Sleep Tips for improved sleep quality and quantity
1. Step outside within 30 to 60 minutes of waking up to enjoy the
sunlight. Repeat in the late a昀琀ernoon, just before dusk.
2. Every day, including weekends, try to wake up at the same
琀椀me and go to bed as soon as you feel 琀椀red.
3. Reduce your ca昀昀eine intake in the second half of the day so
that it leaves your system before bed. Cu琀�ng down, or cu琀�ng
out, alcohol can improve your sleep quality.
4. Move your body more than you do at the moment – regular
movement/exercise increases the quality and quan琀椀ty of your
sleep, helps you stay asleep through the night, and helps you
fall asleep more quickly.
5. Avoid staring at bright lights before and in bed, including
mobile phones.
Just make one change at a
time until a habit is formed!
