Sleep can be disrupted by worry, medicines, hospital stays, or changes in routine. There’s no single fix, but small habits can make evenings calmer.
Things people often find useful
- A steady rhythm. Going to bed and getting up at similar times, where possible.
- A wind-down. Dim lights and put screens away for a while before bed. Gentle music or a warm drink can help.
- A worry list. If your mind races, write tomorrow’s worries down so they’re “parked” until morning.
- A comfortable room. Cool, dark and quiet works for many people.
- Rest counts. If sleep doesn’t come, lying quietly is still restful.
