Harvard Sleep Specialist Recommends 3 Drug-Free Insomnia Fixes, Including 500 More Weekly Steps

1 articles · Updated · Baku.ws · Aug 9

Eric Zhou said chronic insomnia can be tackled without medication through three evidence-based habits rather than sleep aids.
Just 500 extra steps a week can improve sleep quality, Zhou said, adding that even already active people may benefit from moving more.
Seven to nine hours is a common target, but Zhou warned against forcing extra time in bed to make up for poor nights, noting some adults function well on six hours.
Daily consistency is the third pillar: a regular schedule and calming evening rituals help stabilize circadian rhythms and support better sleep.
