  • ‘Sleep hygiene’ refers to healthy habits, behaviours and environmental factors that can be adjusted to help you have a good night’s sleep.
  • Some sleeping problems are often caused by bad sleep habits reinforced over years or even decades.
  • Improved sleep will not happen as soon as changes are made. But if good sleep habits are maintained, sleep will certainly get better.
  • If you have tried and failed to improve your sleep, you may like to consider professional help.
