Practice Relaxation Techniques: Avoid heavy and stimulating meals before bedtime. Opt for foods that promote sleep, such as bananas, almonds, and warm milk. Maintain a Healthy Diet: Regular exercise is a key component of improving sleep quality. Physical activity increases deep sleep time, the most restorative sleep phase.
