]]>Anxious Thoughts
Social media is a pretty dark place and you might get overwhelmed by negative feelings if you’re using your phone before bedtime. Whatever is happening can wait until the morning, so try not to check your emails or read the news before going to bed so they wouldn’t trigger your anxiety.
(@everthrive)Sleep Quality
Ditching your phone about an hour before going to bed can lead to better sleep quality. If you have a habit of waking up during the night or feeling tired in the morning, it’s time to change some of your bedtime rituals, and constant phone usage is a good place to start.
Other Hobbies
If you notice yourself neglecting your other hobbies because you’re constantly on your phone, it’s a good idea to cut down your screen time before going to bed. This will give you enough time to read a book, journal, or practice other hobbies that you enjoy.

]]>Late Night Snacks
It would be ideal if you went to bed a couple of hours after having dinner. This gives your body enough time to burn calories and digest food, but many people have a bad habit of having a tasty snack right before bed.
Pointless Scrolling
Most people also have a habit of checking their phones before going to sleep. There’s nothing wrong with that, as long as you put your phone down after a minute or two, but many people tend to pointlessly scroll through Instagram and Facebook instead of going to sleep.
Last Minute Workouts
If your schedule is super-busy, chances are you’ll leave your workout for the very last minute, but you should hit the gym earlier in the day whenever possible. You might have a hard time falling asleep afterward since working out sends a signal to your body to stay awake and active.

]]>Low-Carbohydrate, High-Fat Diets
Keto diets are super trendy now, but even though they’ll help you lose weight, they can disrupt your sleep. REM sleep and the number of times you wake-up per night increases with low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets.
Caffeine
Caffeine helps keep us awake during the day, but it’s best to avoid it before bedtime. There’s not much research on when to stop drinking coffee during the day as it really depends on the person. Don’t forget that it’s not just coffee that will impact your sleep—chocolate, tea, and sodas also contain caffeine.
Sugary Drinks
Sodas, sports drinks, and juices aren’t the only drinks high in sugar; milk also contains lots of sugar. Try to stick to water a couple of hours before bedtime.
Alcohol
Alcoholic drinks might make you sleepy, but they affect your quality of sleep. They throw off your circadian rhythm and block your REM sleep.
