Lack of sleep affects insulin response and increases fat storage.

To enhance your sleep quality, consider the following tips:

Avoid digital/electronic devices at least one hour before bedtime.

Have your final meal roughly two hours before going to sleep.

Establish a consistent sleep routine.

Ensure your sleeping environment is dark, promoting the release of melatonin, the sleep hormone.

Use air conditioning to cool down on warm nights, as cooler temperatures can improve sleep.
