Sleep hygiene studies use different sets of sleep hygiene recommendations, [15] and the evidence that improving sleep hygiene improves sleep quality is weak and inconclusive as of 2014. [2] Most research on sleep hygiene principles has been conducted in clinical settings, and there is a need for more research on non-clinical populations.
