How it works
Stabilises circadian rhythm, reduces sleep-inhibiting stimuli, and removes sleep-fragmenting substances.
Alone, sleep hygiene has weaker evidence than CBT-I. Most effective as a foundation combined with other interventions.
Strong supporting evidence for individual components, particularly light exposure and consistent wake time. Less evidence for the full protocol as a standalone treatment.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
