😴 Still Tired? These 3 Sleep Mistakes Might Be Why!

If you’re waking up feeling like you wrestled a bear in your sleep—or just plain cranky—it might not be your mattress. It could be your habits. 😬

Registered dietitian Molly Knudsen broke down the top 3 sleep mistakes people make, and the good news? They’re super fixable. 🙌

Here’s what might be messing with your Zzzs:

1. No wind-down time 🧘‍♀️

Going straight from TikTok scrolling or cleaning the kitchen to bed? Your brain’s still in hustle mode. Try dimming the lights, ditching screens, and doing something chill (like reading or stretching) 30–60 minutes before bed.

2. Caffeine & sugar chaos ☕🍫

That late afternoon coffee might still be buzzing in your system at midnight. And sugary snacks? They can crash your blood sugar and mess with your sleep. Swap them for magnesium-rich, protein-packed bites instead.

3. Melatonin overload 😵

Melatonin’s great for jet lag, but using it every night? Not so much. A magnesium-based, nonhormonal supplement might be a better bet for consistent, quality sleep.

Bottom line: Good sleep doesn’t just happen—it’s something you prep for. So give yourself a little bedtime TLC and kick those sleep-sabotaging habits to the curb. 🛌💤
