How to improve sleep hygiene?

I've heard a lot about 'sleep hygiene' recently, and I think mine might not be very good. I'm always on my phone before bed. How can I improve my sleep hygiene to get better quality sleep?

My sleep hygiene used to be non-existent because of late-night television. Now, I try to act like a sensible adult, switch off the TV by 10 PM, and stare at the wall until I drift off.

Keeping your bed only for sleeping actually helps your brain associate it with rest, yaar. Stop working on your laptop or eating lunch on your bed, it ruins your sleep hygiene.

I set a digital bedtime routine on my phone which automatically silences notifications and dims the screen after 9:30 PM. It really helped me wind down without distractions.

As someone managing diabetes, avoiding late-night sugary snacks has greatly improved both my blood glucose levels and my overall sleep quality. Keep a light gap of 3 hours between your last meal and sleep.
