3 Ways To Sleep Better Tonight

1. Understand Your Sleep Needs

It’s important to figure out the numbers – when and for how long do you need to sleep? Since wake-up times are non-negotiable, start from there and work backward to determine your true bedtime.

2. Create A Calming Sleep Ritual

So now you know your bedtime and it’s looming fast. “But I’m not tired”… we know. It’s hard to go from 60 to zero without some prep work. So finish up daily tasks, but reserve some downtime for you. Establishing and following a solid “sleep ritual” will help cue your body that it’s time to settle down and relax, making actual sleep a very attainable thing. Try a good book or a warm bath!

3. Create A Sleep Sanctuary

Your bedroom should be a place of sanctuary – and that means a place that encourages and embraces sleep! Eliminate distracting gadgets, upgrade to blackout curtains, and make sure that you keep your sanctuary at a comfortable temperature. For a true zen-like space, try lavender aromatherapy to help you relax.
