Tips from Sleep Experts™ and sleep editors

1. Find time for self-care before lights-out

→

Dedicate 30-mins to "you" time during the day or before bed. This will help curb the urge for revenge bedtime procrastination.

2. Power down tech an hour before bed

→

Blue light can cause your brain to keep you up longer than you might want. Tuck your tech away for a smoother wind down.

3. Cool yourself down on hot nights

→

A drop in body temperature can signal to your brain that it's time for shut-eye. Cool your room or try a hot bath.

4. Try to wake up at the same time every morning

→

A consistent wake time sets the stage for good sleep habits. Plus, who doesn't love waking up naturally?
