Sleep seems to be a recurring theme in my blog, probably because the wee one doesn’t let me get enough myself.
I have already written about How Better Sleep Can Boost Your Writing, shared an Infographic on Bizarre Sleeping Habits of Famous People, and offered some tips on How to Remember Your Ideas When You’re Falling Asleep—or Waking Up!
Today, I’m sharing an infographic with some tips on sleep hygiene, courtesy of Casper, which I hope you’ll find interesting.
What is Sleep Hygiene?
Sleep hygiene is all about forming good sleep habits that can help you get a better night’s sleep. Practicing good sleep hygiene goes beyond buying a comfortable mattress. What you do during the day and into the night can greatly impact your quality of sleep.
Some examples of good sleep hygiene include exercising regularly and avoiding frequent naps during the day. Good sleep hygiene can improve your overall sleep health — resulting in a more peaceful, sound sleep.
The infographic below details exactly what sleep hygiene is, whether or not it actually works, and simple ways you can start applying it to your life.

Airplane mode for charging phones can help too.

I need to remember it more often. The problem is mostly that I like having it on in case I’m contacted for an emergency.

I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in decades. I try to do (some of) these things. Maybe I need to make more of an effort to put them all on my list.

I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope following some of these tips helps. Also, I’ve been writing up a lot about CBD and it seems to do wonders in cases like this.

I would argue with none of these, just that alcohol is actually a depressant! But I agree not to take stimulants.

Alcohol is a strange one. Although classified as a depressant, the amount of alcohol consumed determines the type of effect. Most people drink for the stimulant effect, such as a beer or glass of wine taken to “loosen up.” But if a person consumes more than the body can handle, they then experience alcohol’s depressant effect.

What it does for the ‘stimulant’ effect is to depress the part of the brain that says ‘now, is that a sensible thing to do/say’ so we feel it’s actually making us livelier when in fact its depressing the part that’s sensible.

Alcohol negatively impacts the quality of sleep. Not to mention, the body treats it as a poison.

True, but it’s still a relaxant in the right quantity.
