3 Tips For Better Sleep Tonight

How would you rate your sleep last night? Did it take you a while to fall asleep? Was it a struggle to stay asleep?

Navigating your sleep health is a multi-faceted journey. You’ve heard us say, your health is a 360 picture: your nutrition can impact your stress, your stress can impact your sleep, your sleep can impact your strength, and so on. It’s all interconnected and important to take into account when trying to improve your sleeping habits!

READ BELOW TO LEARN 3 SIMPLE THINGS YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP TONIGHT.

1. SCHEDULE A MOVEMENT BREAK

This could look like going on a 30 minute walk, strength training, a yoga class, etc. Moving your body can keep you alert during the day and help you fall asleep at night. Your body will naturally want to recover after movement, and the best way it knows how to, is through sleep!

Here’s a quick no-equipment workout routine you can do from home!

2. SET A BOUNDARY WITH YOUR FRIEND, CAFFEINE.

Caffeine affects your sleep, period. You may rely on it to keep you alert in the afternoon, but then it affects your sleep that night, making you more tired the next day – it’s a vicious cycle. We suggest calling it quits by noon as it can take anywhere from 6-10 hours for your body to eliminate caffeine (learn more about it here!). 

3. SET A BEDTIME ALARM

You set an alarm to tell you to wake up, do the same to tell you to go to bed! It acts as your evening reminder to start winding down (i.e. clean up your dishes, do your skincare routine, brush your teeth, shut down the TV). If your goal is to be asleep by 10:30pm, set your bedtime alarm for 9:45pm … right now.

PROPER SLEEP IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF LIVING A HAPPY & HEALTHY LIFE.

Good quality sleep provides you with energy that contributes to less stress, greater productivity, more confidence and contentment, and so much more. Look at it as you would toward your fitness or nutrition goals.
