It’s Not Just About Hours

High quality sleep is essential for feeling and performing at your best, but just how important is it? It’s not just about how long you sleep, but how well you sleep. This is the time your body uses to repair and recharge itself. High quality sleep has been linked to better memory, faster learning, emotional stability, sharper judgment, improved problem-solving, energy conservation, physical healing, and stronger immunity (Bryan et al., 2025). Yet, according to the CDC, “In 2020, 14.5% of adults had trouble falling asleep most days or every day in the last 30 days” (CDC, 2020).

So today, we’re going over three simple life hacks you can start using right now to improve your sleep quality.

Daily Sunlight

It's been shown that just 15 minutes of natural sunlight each morning will help reset your internal clock by suppressing melatonin during the day so it's easier to fall asleep at night. (Roenneberg et al., 2007).

Limit Caffeine Intake

Even 100mg of caffeine (about one cup of coffee) up to 8 hours before bed will have you losing about an hour of sleep. A typical energy drink with 200mg extends that same risk to 13 hours before sleep. (Gardiner, et al 2023). Instead, prioritize hydration. It's been shown that drinking enough water throughout the day helps regulate body temperature and supports the sleep-wake cycle.

Limit Screen Time

We love the late night scroll sessions too, but they can't happen before bed! In fact, it's been shown that “A one-hour increase of screen time after going to bed was associated with 59% higher odds of having symptoms of insomnia” (Hjetland, et al, 2025).
