Sleep Hygiene Improves Healthspan

What is sleep hygiene and why does it matter?

Sleep hygiene refers to behaviors and environment that promote restorative sleep. Optimizing these factors improves healthspan.

Explanation

Core sleep hygiene practices include consistent schedules, a dark and cool bedroom, avoiding caffeine late in the day, and minimizing alcohol before bed. These habits improve both sleep duration and quality, which independently predict longevity.

Clinical studies show that sleep hygiene interventions reduce insomnia severity and improve metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes. Long-term, good sleep hygiene protects against dementia and chronic disease.

Practical Emphasis: Create a nighttime ritual — dim lights, avoid late-night meals, and keep your sleep environment quiet, dark, and cool (65–68°F).

Takeaway (Action Tip)

Adopt strong sleep hygiene practices to maximize nightly restoration.
