Are your daytime habits causing your insomnia?
Some daytime habits or bedtime routines are so ingrained that you may overlook them as a possible contributor to your insomnia. Maybe your daily Starbucks habit affects your sleep more than you realize. Or maybe you’ve never made the connection between your late-night TV viewing and your sleep difficulties.
Is your sleep environment quiet, dark, and comfortable?
Do you watch TV, play video games, or use a computer, tablet or smartphone in bed?
Do you drink caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, soda) within eight hours of bed?
Do you work nights or irregular shifts?
Do you exercise regularly?
