About this quiz
Sleep hygiene describes everyday habits and environmental conditions that can support healthy sleep, but it is not a cure or a diagnosis. This educational quiz checks your understanding of consistent schedules, wind-down routines, light, caffeine, meals, exercise, naps, bedroom conditions, and when persistent sleep problems deserve professional attention. The explanations follow public-health guidance rather than promising a perfect night of sleep.
