What’s Your Night Time Process to Fall Asleep?
A Good Night’s Sleep Challenge
In general having a plan and being prepared leads to better results. Most people have a morning plan, they wake up, go to the bathroom, brush their teeth, and get ready for their day. The question now becomes, do you have a plan for winding down? If not, a nighttime plan or “ritual” can help! It will help you relax and get a better sleep.
Which will result in you having more energy, feeling better rested, and more eager to attack the day.
Here are a couple of ideas for you to consider:
- Drink Some Tea – No, not SWEET TEA and make sure it’s caffeine-free. I suggest Sleepy Time and Chamomile.
- Light Stretching – Can reduce stress, sore muscles, and can help you avoid feeling achy in the morning.
- Find your Ideal Temperature – Most of the research out there says 65 degrees is optimal, but play around and find your number.
- Read – It will help quiet your mind and get you ready to drift off.
- Calming Music – Below I listed some useful apps for this.
- Write Your To-Do List for Tomorrow – I am a HUGE believer in this. Write out your agenda for the upcoming day. That way you eliminate a lot of unnecessary decisions.
- Gratitude/Prayer – Take a few moments and say thank you.
The Challenge is: Create Your Night Time Process!
