How to Start Sleeping Better Tonight

Many of us are just not getting the high-quality sleep our bodies deserve.

You may be getting some rest regularly, but there is a large percentage of busy, hard-working people who are just not receiving the full night’s rest that their body needs on a regular basis.

But what can help you sleep better tonight? You’d be surprised by how just changing a few habits could make all the difference in how you’re resting. Here are 3 ways to optimize your sleep hygiene routine that we learned from Dr. Ayanna Abrams in my latest IG Live chat:

Choose stillness over stimulation.

30-60 minutes before your head hits the pillow needs to be distraction-free. That means power down your phone and that kindle too. Practice truly winding down, mentally and physically, before bed.

Adults need bedtime-prep too!

Teach your body that it’s time for bed. Make sure your room is dark and cool (less than 70 degrees). Wear comfortable clothing designated for sleeping. Get into the habit of creating a sleep-friendly environment every time you go to sleep.

You can optimize your time sleep during the day.

Make the most of your time asleep by staying hydrated, getting in some physical movement, enjoying some sunshine and by managing stressors. These habits only add to getting a full night’s sleep.
