Same bedtime and wake time every day — even weekends.
No screens 1 hour before bed to protect melatonin production.
Keep bedroom at 65-68°F (18-20°C) for optimal sleep.
No caffeine after 2 PM — it stays in your system for hours.
10 minutes of morning sunlight resets your circadian rhythm.
30-60 minutes of relaxing activities before bed.

Each sleep stage has a job:
When these cycles get interrupted — by stress, alcohol, blue light, or an inconsistent schedule — you miss the benefits even if you technically slept long enough.
Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night. However, sleep quality matters as much as quantity. You need adequate time in each sleep stage, especially deep sleep (1-2 hours) and REM sleep, to feel truly rested.
Waking at 3am often indicates blood sugar drops, stress/cortisol issues, or liver activity (Traditional Chinese Medicine associates 1-3am with liver function). Try a small protein snack before bed, stress management, and supporting your body's natural detox.
Yes. The light and sound from TV disrupts sleep cycles, reduces REM sleep, and can fragment your rest without you realizing it. Even low volume affects sleep quality. Use white noise machines instead if you need background sound.
Natural sleep aids like magnesium, melatonin, and L-theanine can help, but they work best alongside good sleep hygiene. They are not a replacement for addressing root causes like stress, screen time, or inconsistent schedules.
