According to sleep expert Matthew Walker, healthy sleep is determined by the quality, quantity, regularity, and timing of sleep. Sleep hygiene involves creating an environment conducive for nighttime sleep. Proper sleep hygiene means having a consistent sleep schedule, following a bedtime routine, forming healthy habits (e.g. avoiding meals around bedtime), and optimizing your bedroom for sleep.
