Improve Sleep Step-By-Step

Take your big goal and break it into small, measurable steps. Each small step should follow the S.M.A.R.T. guidelines. Try making one change at a time, like changing the time you eat dinner in the evening. Follow the chart below, starting with number 1.

For example:

1. Change: I dimmed the lights an hour before bed.

2. Continue: I did this every day for a week.

3. Reflect: After one week, I felt sleepier when I got into bed. I fell asleep in 20 minutes instead of 30.

4. Continue: I will keep this new habit. I will also find a new change to continue to improve my sleep.
