Phone down at a certain time. Etc. Melatonin (our sleep hormone) starts at 9 pm! Blue light has been PROVEN to block melatonin each minute you’re exposed. ✿ Stop eating around 7/8. Your body can’t fall into a deep sleep when you’re digesting. Personally, I do better stopping around 3-5pm. My body is slow. ✿ Make sure your room is cold! Your body needs to be at a certain temp to fall into deep sleep. ✿ Take a hot shower before bed. It helps your body dip into the temp it’s supposed to be at. The shock of hot then cold dips your temp to the ideal sleep state. ✿ This seemed stupid BUT IT WORKS! Wear wool socks to bed! It brings the heat away from your torso, shifting your body into the ideal sleep temp state. ✿ Journal before bed in another room. Reflect on your day in your journal, not on your pillow. Most of us wait to reflect or overthink on our pillow, making our beds a place for anxiety. ✿ Only use your bed for sleeping or intimacy. Your brain will start to equate it to other activities. If you’re working or eating in bed, your brain will begin to expect stress or digestion in the same space. ✿ Get plenty of sunlight during the day to help your circadian rhythm. Bright light as soon as you wake up is ideal. Go for a walk. Open all of your windows. Go get sum 🌞🌻
