Stress and anxiety can wreak havoc on your sleep. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing to quiet your mind and prepare for sleep.

Your mattress and pillows play a significant role in the quality of your sleep. Choose bedding that supports your body's natural alignment and promotes comfort.

While a short nap can be refreshing, avoid long or late naps, as they can disrupt your sleep cycle and make it harder to fall asleep at night.

Know When to Seek Help:

If you've tried everything and still struggle with sleep, don't hesitate to seek help from a healthcare professional or sleep specialist. They can help identify any underlying issues and develop a personalized plan for better sleep.
