Wikipedia: Sleep hygiene

Encyclopedia overview of behavioral and environmental recommendations for healthy sleep—bedtime consistency, bedroom factors, and stimulus-control themes; tertiary navigation next to nocturnal-duration RCTs.

Scope

Centers recommendations and habits commonly grouped as “sleep hygiene” (regular schedule, bedroom cool/dark/quiet, pre-sleep wind-down, limiting stimulating activities)—overlapping CBT-I vocabulary in places but not identical to full cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia programs.

Evidence discipline

Wikipedia summarizes mixed-trial literature for several checklist items—treat as orientation, then read PubMed-linked performance and extension trials on Sleep optimization (sleep-optimization) and spectral interventions on Evening light hygiene (evening-light-hygiene).

Pairing in this wiki

  • wikipedia-sleep-overviewsleep stages, homeostatic / circadian framing
  • wikipedia-melatonin-overview / wikipedia-light-therapy-overviewlight–melatonin threads when hygiene advice intersects lux and spectrum choices

Outcomes

  • Tertiary overview of behavioral sleep-hygiene themes; quantitative sleep-extension, PSQI, or athletic-performance deltas require linked PubMed sources on sleep protocols.
