Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep nightly. Prioritize a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends, to regulate your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
Prioritize Sleep Hygiene
Create a relaxing bedtime routine. Dim the lights an hour before bed, take a warm bath, or read a book. Avoid screen time at least 30 minutes before sleep. Your bedroom should be dark, quiet, and cool.
Manage Stress Effectively
Practice mindfulness techniques like meditation or deep breathing exercises for 10-15 minutes daily. These can significantly reduce stress hormones.
Incorporate Physical Activity
Regular exercise, even a 30-minute walk, boosts mood and reduces stress. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week.
Healthy Diet Matters
Consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Limit processed foods, sugar, and caffeine, especially in the evenings.
Seek Support When Needed
Don’t hesitate to reach out to a therapist or counselor if stress feels overwhelming. Professional guidance can provide valuable coping strategies.
