DAY 12 - PRIORITIZE GOOD SLEEP

The amount of sleep one needs will vary depending on the individual, but it is typically in the 7-8 hours/night range.

Practice good sleep hygeine:

Make sure you are waking up at the same time seven days a week. It may feel like you are “catching up” by sleeping in on the weekends, but research suggests that this is not the case.

Instead, getting up at the same time each day will have a stabilizing effect on our circadian rhythms, as well as melatonin and serotonin production.

Make sure the bed is comfortable and the room is free from light or noise.

Do not go to bed hungry.

Avoid excess liquids to avoid needing to wake up to urinate in the middle of the night.

Keep caffeine products to a minimum.

Don’t take your problems to bed! Consider a nightly prayer or meditation practice to help decompress before climbing into bed.

You will be amazed how your mood and energy levels during the day improve when you prioritize your sleep habits!!
