Lifestyle & Sleep Hygiene

Building Healthier Sleep Habits

Quality sleep often begins with small, consistent lifestyle changes. Sleep hygiene refers to daily habits that support restful sleep—such as limiting caffeine, establishing a bedtime routine, and maintaining a consistent schedule.
At Greenwich Village Psychiatry, we integrate behavioral coaching and psychiatric care to help you adopt habits that reinforce natural sleep.

Core strategies include:

  • Going to bed and waking up at consistent times—even on weekends.
  • Reducing screen exposure before bed.
  • Creating a dark, quiet, comfortable environment for sleep.
  • Pairing behavioral changes with therapy or medication support if needed.

Over time, these practices enhance the effectiveness of medical treatments and reduce the recurrence of insomnia. Ready to improve your sleep naturally? Reach out to our Greenwich Village team for a personalized plan.
