Sleep is fundamental to life like water or food. However, we often forget how important it is. Most of us don’t observe the rules of the sleep hygiene.
When we hear the word “hygiene” we usually think about washing hands or brushing teeth after meals.
„Sleep hygiene” is term used to describe good sleep practices and habits. I’ll cite some of them in this article. Here are most important sleep hygiene tips:
- Plan your day, try to wake up at the same time every day.
- Don’t take naps longer than half an hour;
- Eat supper at the latest two hours before you go to sleep;
