A sleep expert shares science-backed strategies for improved sleep. To alleviate anxiety and prevent it from disrupting your sleep, allocate 10 to 20 minutes during the day to jot down your worries as a useful strategy. For an energy boost, consider briefly sticking your head in the freezer instead of consuming caffeine, which will likely still be in your system when you need to go to sleep. Engaging in a non-work-related activity can help refresh your mind, such as reorganizing a bookshelf or taking a brisk walk in the afternoon. At night, declutter your bedroom to create a calming sleep environment.
