"Sleeping Mistakes: Avoid These Habits to Ensure a Restful Slumber"
Poor sleep hygiene, including habits such as consuming caffeine, substance abuse, eating heavy meals, engaging in strenuous exercise, and using social media before bed, can disrupt sleep quality. On the other hand, practicing bedtime rituals like planning ahead, meditation, journaling, spending time with loved ones, expressing gratitude, and deep breathing exercises can promote better sleep. Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing environment, and avoiding digital media in the bedroom are also important. Additionally, eating a light meal before bed and avoiding spicy or calorie-dense foods, as well as caffeinated beverages and alcohol, can contribute to sound sleep.
