Regularity and Routine Mental Model for Sleep Hygiene

This mental model is based on the principle that our bodies thrive on regularity and routines. In the context of sleep, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, including going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, can significantly improve sleep hygiene. This model also advocates for a regular nightly routine before bedtime to signal to your body that it's time to go to sleep. For example, reading a book, dimming lights, or practicing deep breathing exercises every night before bed are effective routines for enhancing sleep hygiene.
