With more frequent gatherings, shopping, and preparations, it’s easy to sacrifice sleep during the holidays. However, adequate rest is crucial for maintaining your physical and mental health and having a regulated sleep schedule is essential. Here are a few ways to maintain quality sleep this holiday season. Stick to a Sleep Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at consistent times, even on weekends. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine: Wind down with calming activities like reading, taking a warm bath, or practicing deep breathing exercises. Create a Comfortable Sleeping Environment: Minimize noise and light in your bedroom to signal your body that it should be getting tired. Make sure your room is at a comfortable temperature and if necessary, use a white noise machine, fan or light-blocking curtains to make your bedroom an ideal place to sleep deeply. Limit Caffeine, Alcohol, and Food: Drinking caffeine, alcohol, or eating a large meal too close to bedtime can disrupt your sleep and cause you to stay awake past your regular bedtime.
