Sleep Hygiene: Reduce Evening Screen Time

Phones, tablets, and TVs emit blue light, which can interfere with the body’s natural production of melatonin — the hormone that helps you fall asleep.

Try creating a digital wind-down routine:

☑ Turn off screens 30–60 minutes before bed
☑ Read a book or stretch instead
☑ Use night-mode or blue-light filters if needed
☑ Keep devices out of the bedroom

Giving your brain time to unwind helps signal that it’s time for rest.

Create a Consistent Sleep Schedule ⏰

Your body thrives on routine—and your sleep is no exception.

Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day helps regulate your internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up feeling refreshed.

Try this tonight:

☑ Aim to go to bed within the same 30-minute window each night

☑ Wake up at the same time every morning—even on weekends

☑ Avoid sleeping in to “catch up” on rest

Consistency is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve your sleep quality and daily energy.

💤 Small habits = better sleep.

🌙 Sleep Hygiene Checklist: Small Habits, Better Sleep

Struggling to get quality rest? Your daily habits may be the key.

Try these simple, evidence-based sleep hygiene tips:

✨ Unplug Before Bed
Step away from screens 30–60 minutes before sleep. Blue light and stimulation can delay your body’s natural sleep cycle.

⏰ Stick to a Schedule
Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily—even on weekends—to support your internal clock.

🛏️ Use Your Bed Intentionally
Reserve your bed for sleep, rest, and recovery. This helps your brain associate it with winding down.

😴 Limit Naps
If needed, keep naps under 60 minutes and before 3 PM to avoid disrupting nighttime sleep.

☕ Watch Caffeine & Alcohol
Avoid both 4–6 hours before bed—they can interfere with your ability to fall and stay asleep.

🧘‍♀️ Wind Down Properly
Choose calming activities like reading, light stretching, or a warm shower instead of work or screen time.

📝 Clear Your Mind
Write down tomorrow’s to-do list or worries earlier in the evening to help quiet your thoughts at bedtime.

🔄 Reset If Needed
Can’t fall asleep? Get up after 15–20 minutes and do something relaxing. Return to bed once you feel sleepy.

Still not sleeping well?

There may be an underlying cause. Our team can help you get to the root of it.

Sleep, Gut Health & Mood 🌙

Research shows sleep plays an important role in supporting the Gut Microbiome—the trillions of bacteria that influence digestion, metabolism, and brain health.

When sleep is disrupted, it can affect several important systems in the body:

☑ Insulin regulation: Poor sleep can reduce insulin sensitivity, making it harder for the body to regulate blood sugar.

☑ Appetite hormones: Sleep loss can increase hunger signals and reduce fullness signals, often leading to more cravings.

☑ Gut Balance: Disrupted sleep can alter the Gut Microbiome, which can influence digestion. As well as the gut-brain connection, which can affect mood and stress levels.

Healthy sleep, healthier gut. Book an appointment with our team to get started.

Sleep & Brain Health

New research shows that while we sleep, the brain turns on its natural “clean-up system.”

This system, known as the Glymphatic System, helps clear out waste that builds up in the brain during the day.

During deep sleep, it helps remove proteins such as Amyloid-beta, which has been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease.

When sleep is regularly shortened or disrupted, this overnight cleaning process may not work as effectively—allowing waste proteins to build up over time.

Healthy sleep is key to a healthy brain. Reach out to the clinic to book an appointment.
