YOUR SLEEP...HYGIENE

• Hygiene isn't just for keeping clean, there is also something called "Sleep Hygiene" that requires we have a routine and certain bedtime rituals to ensure that we are helping our brain achieve the best sleep. Good sleep is critical to improving daily functioning, cognition, reducing depression and anxiety, and so much more.

• Just like any other part of basic self-care, your sleep behavior could also benefit from hygiene. Your sleep environment, afternoon and evening activities, coping behaviors, and sleep routine are all part of good sleep hygiene.
