Abstract
Sleep hygiene can be defined as a set of habits, behaviors, and activities that improve sleep quality. For didactic purposes, we divided the elements of sleep hygiene into five topics: (1) sleep environment, (2) eating habits, (3) routine, (4) sleep ritual, and (5) worries. Sleep hygiene consists of educating patients about habits, routine, and preparation of the environment so that it can positively influence sleep quality. This chapter proposes patient guidelines on the five topics of sleep hygiene.
