@dammgoodsleep: 4 habits a sleep doctor wants you to STOP: 📺 TV on while you're in bed. The noise and flickering light keep your brain half on guard duty, so sleep takes longer to arrive and the sleep you do get is fragmented. Bed is for sleep. If you need sound, a fan or a playlist with a sleep timer does the job without the light. 🏋️ The 11 PM gym session. Intense workouts raise heart rate, body temperature, and alertness, exactly when sleep needs all three coming down. Finish intense training 2-3 hours before bed. Evenings belong to walks and stretching. ⚡ The 4 PM energy drink. Stacked caffeine and sugar borrow alertness at interest, and the caffeine lingers for hours, stealing deep sleep tonight even if you fall asleep on time. For the afternoon dip: a 15-20 minute nap, a walk in daylight, and caffeine cut off about 8 hours before bed. 🌿 Nightly THC. It may shorten the time it takes to fall asleep, but it alters sleep architecture, suppresses REM, and tolerance builds while the benefits fade. Evidence-based tools first: a wind-down, a consistent wake time, CBT-I. If falling asleep stays hard, talk with your sleep doctor. Save this for tonight 🛏️ Which one are you quitting first? 👇 #SleepDoctor #SleepTok #DAMMGoodSleep #SleepTips #BetterSleep #SleepScience #SleepHygiene
