8 Sneaky Habits That Can Wreck Your Sleep
Small evening patterns can have a bigger effect on rest than you expect.
Caffeine late in the day
Caffeine can stay active longer than expected. Notice whether late coffee or energy drinks make your bedtime feel less settled.
Weekend sleep-ins
A large change between weekday and weekend wake times can make the next night harder. A steadier schedule is often easier on the body.
Heavy meals or alcohol before bed
Late heavy meals and alcohol may disrupt the quality of rest. Keep the last part of the evening lighter when possible.
Naps and your sleep environment
Long naps, noise, light and an uncomfortable room can all work against a consistent bedtime routine.
