Sleep hygiene isn't just about getting enough hours—it's about creating the perfect environment and habits for quality rest. Good sleep hygiene affects both your physical and mental health, improving productivity and overall quality of life.

Key Signs of Poor Sleep Hygiene

1. Difficulty Falling Asleep: Tossing and turning at night is a clear indicator that your sleep routine needs attention.

2. Frequent Sleep Disturbances: Waking up multiple times during the night disrupts your natural sleep cycles.

3. Daytime Sleepiness: Feeling tired throughout the day suggests your nighttime rest isn't as effective as it should be.
