Struggling to fall asleep? These habits might be whyâŚ
â Drinking coffee or energy drinks after 3 PM? Caffeine stays in your system for hours. It keeps your brain alert and delays sleep.
đą Still checking your phone before bed? Blue light from screens blocks melatonin. Thatâs the hormone that helps you sleep.
đ Eating big meals late at night? Your stomach stays busy digesting. That means tossing and turning all night.
đď¸ââď¸ Exercising hard right before bed? It raises your heart rate and body temp. Your brain stays wired instead of winding down.
đˇ Think a nightcap helps you sleep? Alcohol may knock you out fast⌠But it disrupts deep sleep and REM cycles.
đ° Lying in bed with racing thoughts? Stress and anxiety trigger cortisol. That stress hormone keeps you awake.
