sleep hygiene
Healthy rest practices
Sleep hygiene refers to habits and practices that promote good sleep.
The term borrows from public health language—like dental hygiene—to frame sleep as something requiring deliberate care.
Common sleep hygiene advice includes maintaining a consistent bedtime, avoiding screens before bed, and limiting caffeine: My doctor asked about my sleep hygiene before prescribing anything.
