#Sleep#Wellbeing#Routine
Sleep shapes nearly every part of your health, from mood and memory to immunity and heart health. The encouraging news is that better sleep usually comes from routine, not pills.
Anchor your body clock
Going to bed and waking at roughly the same time every day — including weekends — is the single most powerful sleep habit. It trains your body to feel sleepy and alert at the right moments.
Design a calmer wind-down
- Dim the lights and step away from screens an hour before bed
- Keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet
- Avoid caffeine from mid-afternoon and heavy meals late at night
If loud snoring, gasping or daytime exhaustion persist despite good habits, talk to your GP — it may point to a treatable sleep condition.
