While napping can be beneficial for some, avoid taking long or late-afternoon naps. They can interfere with your ability to fall asleep at night. If you need to nap, keep it short (around 20-30 minutes) and earlier in the day.

Sunlight helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Try to get exposure to natural light during the day, especially in the morning. This can help you feel more awake and alert during the day and improve your sleep at night.
