Are you having trouble falling asleep? Waking up during the night? Or just tired, all the time? I've been there. A lot of these tips seem straightforward – but it's difficult to build healthy habits around sleep, and practice good sleep hygiene consistently. Like anything, start small – choose one area of your sleep to focus on. Then come back, pick another, and work your way up to the best rest you can get.

BrainCraft Hi! I'm Vanessa Hill, a behavioural scientist and science communicator. On BrainCraft I explore psychology, neuroscience and self-development.

Outside of my regular videos, you can find BrainCraft as a series on PBS, watch my YouTube Originals show Sleeping With Friends, or check out my PBS docu-series Attention Wars. There's so much to watch, I'm honestly not sure why you're still reading this. But since you are, please consider subscribing and supporting my Patreon so I can continue to make educational videos 🧠✨
