How to Fix Your Sleep (Without Counting a Million Sheep)

Okay, so you know sleep is important. But what if sleep doesn’t love you back?

(Shout-out to all our night owls, insomniacs, and restless mind racers. 🧠✨)

At Galvan, we get it—and we’ve got you covered with science-backed tips that actually work.

Ready to transform your sleep game? Let’s go!

📈 First, the Science-y Basics: What IS Good Sleep?

Good sleep =

✅ Falling asleep within 20-30 minutes

✅ Staying asleep (or falling back quickly if you wake up)

✅ Waking up feeling refreshed (instead of ready to nap for three more hours)

If this doesn’t sound like your reality, don’t worry. You’re not broken—you just need a better sleep game plan.

🛠️ Science-Approved Sleep Upgrades:

🛌 1. Stick to a Sleep Schedule

Even on weekends! (Sorry, not sorry.)

Your brain LOVES routine. Go to bed and wake up at the same times every day.

Why?

It strengthens your internal clock (a.k.a. your circadian rhythm), making sleep way easier over time.

📵 2. Power Down Screens Before Bed

We love our phones, too, but blue light from screens tricks your brain into thinking it’s still party time.

Goal: Shut down screens 30-60 minutes before bedtime.

Pro tip: Trade scrolling for reading, stretching, or journaling. Your brain will thank you.

🌡️ 3. Create a Cool, Cozy Cave

Science says the sweet spot for sleeping is about 65°F (18°C).

Dim lights, blackout curtains, and cozy bedding turn your bedroom into a sleepy-time oasis.

🧘 4. Relax Like a Pro

Racing thoughts = the #1 sleep thief.

Try deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation to calm your system before bed.

Even a few minutes helps. Small wins = better sleep.

☕ 5. Watch the Caffeine (and Booze)

Caffeine has a half-life of 5-7 hours (yes, that afternoon latte is haunting you).

And while alcohol might knock you out, it actually wrecks your sleep cycles later in the night.

Smart move: Cut caffeine after 2 PM and save the cocktails for brunch.

🎯 The Galvan Takeaway

If sleep has been playing hard to get, don’t stress—you can fix it. With a few small (but powerful) changes, you’ll be snoozing like a pro—and waking up ready to take on the world. 🌎💤
