Why it matters
Sleep is vital for health — it helps your body repair, supports memory, balances appetite, and improves mood. Poor sleep can make stress, weight gain, or health problems worse.
Better sleep habits (Sleep Hygiene)
- Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evening
- Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet
- Switch off phones and screens an hour before bed
- Try a relaxing wind-down routine (reading, warm bath, calming music)
