13 Physiotherapist-Backed Sleep Hygiene Tips for Mumbai

Sleep powers recovery, mood, and performance. For many Mumbaikars, long commutes, screen time, and body aches get in the way. These sleep hygiene tips—curated by physiotherapists—will help you unwind, recover, and wake up refreshed.

Sleep Hygiene Tips: 13 simple changes that work

1. Keep a steady sleep–wake time daily.

2. Create a 45–60 minute wind-down (dim lights, light reading, gentle breathing).

3. Reserve the bed for sleep and intimacy only—no phones, TV, or work.

4. Cool, dark, quiet room; supportive mattress and pillow for neutral spine.

5. Light dinners; avoid caffeine and alcohol late evening.

6. Move every day; finish workouts at least 2–3 hours before bed.

7. Gentle stretches: child’s pose, legs-up-the-wall, diaphragmatic breathing.

8. Morning daylight exposure (a short walk helps reset the body clock).

9. Power naps only when needed: ~20 minutes, not late evening.

10. Warm shower or bath to relax tight muscles.

11. If you can’t sleep in ~20 minutes, get out of bed and do a calm activity.

12. Reduce late-night doom-scrolling; set app time limits after 9 pm.

13. Track patterns (stress, pain, late meals) and tweak one habit at a time.
