Changes in routines and locations can disrupt sleep quality — here’s what to do Getting a good night’s sleep can be a little more challenging amid the hype of the holidays. With changes in routine, diet and potentially time zones, quality sleep could be difficult to come by. As many people may eat and drink more than usual during the holidays, Licuanan advised being mindful of the amount of consumption. Exercise routines are likely to shift during this time as well. While the holidays can be filled with potential stressors, Licuanan suggested practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques to fuel good sleep later. Continual social gatherings, travel and spontaneous activities can all heighten stress levels Such activities can include buying groceries, wrapping gifts, picking up family members at the airport or providing entertainment for guests If you’re in a time zone behind your usual one, try delaying your bedtime to allow your body to build up enough sleepiness.” If you’re staying as a guest in someone’s home or at a hotel, it might be helpful to bring some tools to help ensure a good night’s sleep This could include earplugs or eye masks, Licuanan said, which are “good ways to replicate the quiet and darkness that you may have in your home.”
