Simple Ways to Sleep Deeper Without Buying Anything

Set the stage for deep sleep

Keep a steady schedule, going to bed and waking at roughly the same time even on weekends, so your body knows when to wind down. In the hour before bed, dim the lights and step away from bright screens, which mimic daylight and delay the sleep signal.

Make the room cool, dark, and quiet: a slightly cold room helps the body drop into deeper sleep, and blocking stray light and noise prevents the brief wake-ups that leave you groggy. None of it costs a thing, and together it often does more than any purchase.
