How to Create a Successful Sleep Environment: A Sleep Physician's Best Tips for a Good Night's Sleep by Dr. Abhinav Singh Sleep Physician

Sleep is vital to overall health, and getting the right amount of good quality sleep can be difficult. Creating a proper sleeping environment is the best place to start. 

Here are my top tips to create a successful sleep environment: 

1. Limiting Phone Usage in the Bedroom

• Keep phones on do not disturb mode and greater than 6 feet away from you so that your hands cannot reach them.

• Give yourself one hour of disconnect from your phone prior to climbing into bed.

• Replace the " Doom scrolling or screen bathing" in bed with a calming ritual. Gratitude journals, light audio, reading, breathing exercises and stretching have shown to increase relaxation.

2. Other Optimal Sleep Conditions

• Keep it cool and comfortable. Consider buying a smart thermostat, which works on a timer.

• A less stimulating and relaxing environment naturally promotes sleep.

• Consider amber lighting.

• Have an electronic and gadget-free environment.

3. Suggested Sleep Products

• eye shades
• ear plugs
• blackout curtains
