Go to bed at the same time every night, avoid screens 1 hour before bed, and keep your room dark and cool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Aim for <strong>7\u20139 hours<\/strong> of uninterrupted sleep to see noticeable improvements in energy and hormone balance within days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
