10/11/2022

Sleep Tips:

Consistency. Make sleep a practice. Make relaxation a ritual. Try the resources below on a regular basis. Commit to a regular sleep ritual and stick to it for a month.
Make your bedroom a relaxing, nurturing, dark environment.
Avoid large meals shortly before sleep.
Monitor caffeine use.
Limit screen time before bed. Especially limit things like Twitter and TikTok that are fast moving, informational, and intentionally stimulating.
If you're having a hard time "turning off your brain," journal or make lists.
Drop into your body with gentle movement or meditation before sleep.
Don't freak out. The worse thing you can do is judge yourself or spiral about your night affecting the next day. In fact, consider how can you lean into your current experience.
