If you are someone who seem to have difficulty sleeping or to stay asleep for longer than a few hours and you constantly wake up multiple times throughout the night, then follow these 3 simple science- backed tips to improve your sleep quality instantly:

1. Optimize your sleep environment

   Set your bedroom up for sleep success - ideally cool, dark and comfortable. Investing in a quality mattress and pillows that fit with your comfort level can also go a long way.

2. Avoid screens (blue light) before bed

   Our brain is tricked into thinking that it is daytime by the blue light from our phones, computers and televisions. It releases hormones to keep you wide awake. Therefore, try finding other ways to wind down for bed like meditation, lighting candles or even reading a book.

3. Avoid caffeine and alcohol after 4pm

   Caffeine and alcohol can take up to and over 10 hours to fully exit your body causing issues falling and staying asleep. Avoid the nightcap and try a soothing drink instead like chamomile tea or warm milk
