With World Sleep Day approaching on March 14, there\u2019s never been a better time to make sleep a priority<\/a> and take steps to ensure you get the shuteye you need to feel your best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted by the World Sleep Society<\/a>, this annual event is \u201cintended to be a celebration of sleep and a call to action on important issues related to sleep, including medicine, education, social aspects, and driving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group hopes that through better prevention and management of sleep disorders<\/a>, sleep problems will no longer be such a huge issue in our society. Poor sleep is estimated to cost $400 billion per year<\/a> in productivity loss, to say nothing of its contribution to more serious health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme for this year\u2019s World Sleep Day is \u201cMake Sleep Health a Priority.\u201d To mark the occasion, we\u2019re sharing 10 tried-and-true tips to help you improve your sleep so you can experience the stress-relieving benefits for years to come.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Sleep Day 2025 sleep tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take a nap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Capitalize on the afternoon lull with a little siesta. Research finds you only need about 20 minutes<\/a> to reap the benefits of napping, which include a lower risk of heart disease and stroke, healthier blood pressure, and a brain health boost. Learn how to work naps into your schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sniff lavender<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before hitting the sack, take a whiff of lavender<\/a>. This purple plant has some serious sleep-promoting properties. One study reports inhaling lavender before bed<\/a> increases the amount of deep sleep<\/a> you can experience. If you want to venture outside of lavender, try one of these other effective essential oils for sleep<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drink a glass of tart cherry juice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Downing a glass of merlot before bed? Not such a hot idea, as alcohol can wreck your sleep<\/a>. A glass of tart cherry juice on the other hand? That\u2019s a much better choice. Studies show tart cherries are an excellent natural sleep aid. Here\u2019s exactly how much tart cherry juice you need for better sleep<\/a>. Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy a nighttime bath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best pre-bedtime activities you can do is take a warm bath. Here\u2019s why: Your body temperature naturally dips at night, helping you fall asleep. A warm bath raises your temperature, but the cooldown you experience once you\u2019re out of the tub primes you for sleep. Here\u2019s how to enhance your bath for maximum sleepiness<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try a five-minute meditation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Meditation relieves anxiety stress, fatigue, and pain. Research finds it can even help you catch Z\u2019s<\/a> and curb insomnia<\/a>. You don\u2019t need to dedicate a ton of time to meditation to see the results\u2014as little as five minutes of mindfulness will do the trick. Here\u2019s how to make meditation part of your bedtime routine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tidy up your bedroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

World Sleep Day falls smack-dab in the middle of spring cleaning season<\/a>\u2014so now\u2019s the perfect time to get serious about decluttering. Clutter can cause stress, which makes it harder to get shuteye. One study even shows people who are at risk of hoarding disorder<\/a> suffer from poor sleep. Here\u2019s how to use the KonMari decluttering method for a neater bedroom<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretch your body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A nightly stretching practice can help your body understand it\u2019s time for bed. Gentle stretches like child\u2019s pose and seated twist will get you in the mood for sleep and help prevent you from waking up in pain. Here are step-by-step instructions for relaxing nighttime stretches<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give your phone a break<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The bright blue light emitted by your phone can keep you up at night. If you\u2019re addicted to the pre-bed scroll through Instagram, Facebook, and work emails (guilty!), it\u2019s time to clean up your sleep hygiene. Instead of scrolling through social media from bed<\/a>, listen to a relaxing podcast<\/a> or a guided meditation\u2014and use Bluetooth headphones so you can keep your phone in another room. Here are more ways to break up with your phone before bed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat a late-night snack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Late-night snacks have a bad reputation when it comes to sleep. Eating too close to bedtime can keep you awake or disrupt your sleep with indigestion and acid reflux<\/a>. But some foods, like avocados and oatmeal<\/a>, actually promote sleep\u2014so if you\u2019re feeling hungry before bed, a little (non-spicy) guacamole could be just the ticket. Here are the best late-night snacks to eat before bed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upgrade your mattress and bedding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The right mattress and bedding can make it easier to get a good night\u2019s sleep. So this World Sleep Day, invest in quality shuteye with a comfortable new mattress and cozy sheets and pillows.
