Sleep Hygiene Tip 10: Don't Stress about Sleep
The final tip is one of the most important: Don’t Stress About Sleep ⏾. Worrying about sleep can actually make it harder to rest. One rough night doesn’t mean you’re failing—and your body is often getting more sleep than it feels like. Instead of aiming for perfect sleep, focus on supportive habits and consistency. When stress is low, sleep comes more naturally.

Sleep Hygiene Tip 9: Bedrooms Are for the 2 S's
Welcome to another Wisdom Wednesday, where we share evidenced tips, insights, and more. This week’s tip highlights how Bedrooms Are for the 2 S’s. Your brain learns through associations. When you work, scroll, or watch TV in bed, your brain starts to link your bedroom to being alert instead of relaxed. Keeping your bed reserved for sleep and intimacy helps strengthen the connection between your bedroom and rest —making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Sleep Hygiene Tip 8: Move & Nourish
It’s Wisdom Wednesday, where we share evidenced tips, insights, and more. This week, we are focusing on movement and nourishment. Daily movement and balanced eating help your body sleep better. Being active during the day naturally increases your sleep drive, while steady nourishment keeps your energy and mood stable so it’s easier to wind down at night.

Sleep Hygiene Tip 7: Watch What You Eat & Drink
It’s another Wisdom Wednesday, where we share evidenced tips, insights, and more. This week, our sleep hygiene series highlights the need to Watch What You Eat & Drink. What you put into your body during the day affects your sleep at night. Cutting back on caffeine, being mindful of alcohol, and avoiding heavy meals before bed are simple habits that support deeper, more restorative sleep. Similarly, sleep can also affect hunger cues and how we metabolize food.

Sleep Hygiene Tip 6: Only Sleeping When Sleepy
Welcome back to Wisdom Wednesday, where we share evidenced tips, insights, and more. For week 6 of the sleep hygiene series, we are targeting Only Sleeping When Sleepy. Remember our sleep drive? We only feel tired if our sleep “pressure” (aka sleep drive) is high. Trying to go to bed when you do not feel this pressure and are not tired can make it even more difficult to fall asleep.

Sleep Hygiene Tip 5: Limiting Screens
Welcome to Wisdom Wednesday, where we share evidenced tips, insights, and more. It’s week 5 of our sleep hygiene series - Limiting Screens. The light from phones, TVs, and laptops delays your brain’s melatonin (sleep hormone) release — making it harder to fall asleep. Turning off screens at least 30 minutes before bed can help your brain transition into rest mode.

Sleep Hygiene Tip 3: Relaxing Before Bed
It’s another Wisdom Wednesday, where we share evidenced tips, insights, and more. Today, we are introducing our third tip for better sleep hygiene: Relaxing Before Bed. What you do in the hour before bed can make or break your sleep quality! Try creating a simple wind-down routine — reading a book, stretching, or drinking herbal tea — to help your body shift out of “stress mode” and prepare for rest.

Sleep Hygiene Tip 2: Amount of Sleep
How much sleep are you getting? Welcome to another Wisdom Wednesday, where we share evidenced tips, insights, and more. This week is all about amount of sleep. Getting enough sleep isn’t just about feeling energized — it’s about mental health. Did you know that even small amounts of sleep loss can raise your risk of experiencing symptoms of depression? Aim for 8–10 hours if you’re under 18, or 7–9 if you’re an adult. Your mind and body will thank you.

Sleep Hygiene Tip 1: Consistency is Key
Welcome to our first Wisdom Wednesday, where we share evidenced tips, insights, and more. Week 1 is all about sleep consistency. Have you ever felt wide awake late at night but super tired in the afternoon? Well, it might be because of an imbalance between your sleep drive (wanting to sleep) and your wake drive (your body’s natural alertness). Keeping a consistent sleep schedule helps these two systems stay in sync — leading to better rest.
