- Stop eating at least two to three hours before sleep time (this allows your body to focus on cleaning and repairing rather than digesting)
- Begin to dim the lights throughout the house to mimic the setting sun and help your circadian rhythm to calm and prepare for rest.
- Avoid blue lights such as all monitors/screens - big or small.
- ( I suspect you know this yet are you practicing it? Time to start!)
- Keep your bedroom cool as we sleep much better with a cooler body temperature.
- Keep your bedroom as dark as possible and quiet as well. Use a fan if needed to muffle out noises and wear a sleep mask for compete darkness.
- Set a great intention as you drift off and envision awakening feeling refreshed.
- If taking a warm bath, ensure it's an hour or so before bedtime allowing your body to cool down before you hit the sheets.
