Hello Doctor,

 

I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, and it's affecting my daily routine. I’m struggling to fall asleep at the right time and waking up feeling tired. What can I do to improve my sleep and get on track with a proper sleep schedule?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Sleep difficulties are common and can often be improved with a few changes. Here are some tips:

 

1. Stick to a routine: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.

2. Avoid screens before bed: Limit screen time an hour before sleep, as blue light can affect your melatonin levels.

3. Optimize your sleep environment: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet for better sleep.

4. Avoid stimulants and heavy meals: Limit caffeine and large meals before bed.

5. Practice relaxation: Try deep breathing or light reading to wind down before sleep.

6. Exercise regularly: Physical activity can improve sleep, but avoid intense exercise right before bed.

 

Thanks
