10 tips for better sleep
- Keep a consistent sleep and wake time
- Get morning sunlight
- Avoid screens 30-60 min before bed

- Limit caffeine after midday
- Avoid large meals and alcohol late
- Exercise regularly (not too late)
- Create a wind-down routine
- Reserve your bed for sleep
- Manage stress and worry
Consistency is king
The most powerful sleep habit is a consistent schedule — going to bed and waking at the same times, even on weekends. This anchors your body clock and dramatically improves sleep quality over time.

Build a wind-down routine
Signal to your body that it's time to sleep with a calming pre-bed routine: dim lights, no screens, and relaxing activities like reading or stretching. This eases the transition into deep, restful sleep.
The takeaway
Keep a consistent schedule, get morning light, cut evening screens and caffeine, and build a wind-down routine. Better sleep amplifies every other aspect of your health and fitness.
