Introduction
Sleep hygiene refers to practices and habits that can help improve the quality of your sleep. Quality Sleep is a vital contributor to physical and mental health and well-being. Sleep is important because it gives the body and mind time to rest and repair to be able to be ready for another day. Your behaviors during the day, and especially before bedtime, can have a major impact on your sleep.
