Practice mindful sleep hygiene through intentional behaviors and environmental adjustments to promote restorative sleep. Cultivate awareness of stress, light, and pre-bedtime activities to improve overall health and daily functioning.
Establish a consistent sleep schedule to align the circadian rhythm and support physical health, emotional regulation, memory, and cognitive function; follow the 3210 rule for pre-bed habits.
