Set a schedule

Establish a regular sleep schedule for every day of the week! Don't sleep in even on days off.


Don't force it

If you haven't fallen asleep after 20 minutes, get up and do something calming. This serves as a distraction and can result in more restful sleep.


Avoid disruptive substances

Caffeine, Nicotine, and other substances can disrupt sleep patterns. Caffeine can stay in your body for up to 12 hours! Even decaf coffee has caffeine.


Power Down

Lower the lights and avoid using electronics 2 hours before bed. Lights and technology can cause you to become more alert.


Use your bed only for sleep+ intimacy

Mentally active behaviors in bed, like watching TV, reading a book, or surfing your phone confuse the mind and body.
