Exercise during the day if you can manage, blue light counteracting filters on electronics, reduce stimulation, yin yoga for sleep videos on YouTube, YouTube white noise videos or running a fan when going to sleep. Yogi Tea also makes this incredible sleep tea
Like in Calm chews or capsules, taken at 9 pm (see what time that has you fall asleep). Or magnesium in your bath, if a bath relaxes you anyway. Then do a quick vagal tone exercise routine once in bed - it’s crazy how it works, totally thought it was BS until I tried it. And be sure to go OUTSIDE to get sunlight by 10am every day (I’m bad about this, but even going later is better than none).
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
