Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the bed only for sleeping, and not for studying or other activities, can help train the brain to associate the bed with sleep, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. This can ultimately lead to better sleep habits and help alleviate symptoms of insomnia. Taking regular naps or exercising too close to bedtime may interfere with falling asleep and exacerbate insomnia symptoms. Sleeping in on weekends may disrupt the regular sleep schedule and make it harder to fall asleep at night.
