12 Innocent Habits that Are Completely Ruining Your Sleep Quality

You love being productive at night

Finish stressful activities as early as you can. If you keep until bedtime, your mind will still be racing when you’re trying to sleep. When a bit of late-night work is necessary, take time to wind down before crawling into bed, says Neil Kline, DO, board-certified internist, sleep disorder physician, and representative of American Sleep Association. “Instead of doing bills before bedtime or rehashing the day’s events, have a soothing ritual,” he says. Try taking a hot shower, meditating, or listening to relaxing music, suggests Dr. Kline. Find out if work is burning you out.
