Does the word hygiene makes you think of brushing your teeth and wearing deodorant? Well, it’s not exactly the same idea when it comes to sleep. Sleep hygiene has nothing to do with not stinking like a gym bag and everything to do with your lifestyle.
What you do in the hours leading up to bed can mean the difference between a good night’s sleep or spending hours staring at the ceiling. Not to mention going through the day in a zombie-like fog. So it’s important to make sure you’re sleeping clean.
But how do you know if you have bad sleep hygiene?
Take this quiz to see if your hygiene is squeaky clean or could use a little scrubbing!

Hi there, Navin! I’m so sorry you’re having such a tough time with sleep. We have an insomnia support group on Facebook where you could hopefully find some help. We’d love to have you join 🙂
Hi Julia I have done your quiz and scored a 6, very happy with that.
Wonderful website with great information
Thanks! 🙂
I’ve had sleep issues for about 10 years… I scored a 25. I’m not sure exactly what helps at this stage, but I will try journaling to see if it can stop my racing mind at night.
I’m a major overthinker, too! Journaling is a good way to calm your mind before bed, you can read more about here, “How to Keep a Sleep Journal to Quiet your Mind to Sleep.” Also, we also have an insomnia support group on Facebook if you’d like to join. You can click here to join.
