Sleep can really impact our mental wellbeing. Many things can affect our sleep like foods or how much time we spend looking at screens or stress. Below are some ways to improve your sleep to help improve your mental health:
-
Turn off all devices several hours before you go to bed- remove devices if you have to;
-
Going to bed/waking up at the same time helps set a rhythm;
-
Get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every 24 hours;
-
Exercise during the day can help us feel tired later at night;
-
Have your bedroom be dark, cool, and quiet;
-
Avoid large meals and/or caffeine right before going to bed
