10 sleep strategies to help you cope with the COVID-19 pandemic

1. Create and maintain regular daytime and nighttime routines.
Get up about the same time each morning.
Go to bed about the same time each night.
Set regular mealtimes and exercise/play times.

2. Prioritize getting outside each day for at least 30 minutes, preferably before noon.
Consider a walk around the block in the morning or breakfast outside.

Bright light exposure helps our body maintain a regular 24-hour rhythm which is crucial for quality sleep.
3. Avoid worrying, working, answering emails, watching movies, or hanging out in bed and help your kids do the same.
A strong association between the bed and sleep can help with falling asleep faster and getting back to sleep during the night.

4. Go to bed when you feel sleepy and don’t try to “make” yourself go to sleep.
If you go to bed and can’t sleep, get up and do something relaxing until you are sleepy and go back to bed.
Avoid falling asleep on the couch, in the recliner or other places that aren’t your bed.

5. Calming and soothing bedtime routines are important for kids and adults.
Suggested activities:

Reserve the hour before bed for activities that are positive, relaxing and create a sense of safety and ease.
Read a positive, not too exciting book.
Take a shower/Bath.
Review things for which you are grateful.
Talk with friends and loved ones.

6. Dim the lights in the evening and avoid screens one to two hours before bed.
Bright lights and screens send a signal to the brain that it is daytime which can lead to more difficulty falling or staying asleep and more fatigue the next day.
If you must be on a personal electronic device before bed, enable the night mode or download a blue light blocking app to help filter some of the light that negatively impacts sleep. Blue light blocking glasses can also be used for evening screen use.

7. If you find yourself worrying or having trouble quieting your mind, take some time a couple of hours before bed to write down the things that are concerning you.
Set aside a “worry time” the next day to focus on the things on your list.

Keep a pad of paper by your bed so you can write things down.
8. Relaxation exercises, such as slow easy breathing, performed on your own or with the guidance of an app or recording can be helpful at bedtime.

9. Pay attention to healthy sleep habits.
Avoid caffeine after noon.
Avoid alcohol in the evening. (Avoid the use of alcohol for sleep. While it can be associated with falling asleep faster, it leads to waking more often during the night and poor-quality sleep.)
Keep your room cool and dark.
Avoiding eating meals within two hours of bedtime.

10. For adults, short naps (15-20 minutes) in the midafternoon can feel refreshing and provide a daytime boost.
Longer and/or later naps can interfere with nighttime sleep and it is usually best to avoid long naps if you are having trouble sleeping at night. However, if you are ill, napping and extra sleep may help in recovery, so allow for that extra sleep if needed.
