Boost your sleep
Sleep is essential for overall physical and mental wellbeing. There are many factors that contribute to how well we sleep; some of which are limited within the hour before sleep, whilst others make their mark earlier on in the day. If you are someone who has temperamental sleep quality, starting a sleep tracker might help you to uncover the hidden issues.
Sleep hygiene is defined as having both a bedroom environment and daily routine that promote healthy sleep. Keeping a stable sleep schedule, making your bedroom comfortable and free of disruptions, following a relaxing pre-bed routine, and building healthy habits during the day can all contribute to ideal sleep hygiene.
Try answering the questions in the sleep tracker for at least a week and reflect on your sleep hygiene.
