1. Personalize your sleep routine

Life moves fast, and we can sometimes forget to rest without a reminder. To maintain the energy you need during the day, a personalized sleep schedule often helps create a sense of consistency and is an important part of maintaining a sleep routine. No matter what your day-to-day looks like, Copilot can help you tailor a sleep schedule that fits your individual needs with prompts like the ones below:

• I want to improve my sleep so that I have energy for both my work and daily exercise. Can you create a sleep schedule that fits my work and exercise routine?

Relaxation is key to preparing your mind and body for sleep. If you need help fully relaxing before bed, Copilot can offer various relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and others. These techniques help calm your mind, reduce anxiety, and promote a state of relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

A conducive sleep environment is essential for quality sleep. When our environment feels peaceful and safe, our bodies often feel the same, making it easier for us to fully rest. Copilot can provide tips to optimize your sleep environment, such as adjusting room temperature, reducing noise and light, and choosing the right mattress and pillows. By creating a comfortable and relaxing sleep environment, you can enhance your sleep quality and wake up feeling refreshed. Prompts like these can help you create the ideal sleeping environment for your needs:
