Optimize Your Sleeping Environment

A crucial factor in ensuring a good night’s sleep is streamlining your bedroom. Try to reduce the amount of artificial light, cut out external noise, and tidy up the mess so that you can relax knowing that everything’s in the right place.

Regular Sleeping Pattern

Once your bedroom is organized and designed for rest, the next thing to think about is your sleeping pattern. The most effective way to get good quality sleep is to try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. This lets your body know what its meant to be doing.

A MINDFUL SLEEP Mindful action starts from your intention. The same thing with mindful sleeping. Here's a simple guide: 1. Do your night routine. No distraction, keep your phone away. 2. Walk to your bed, fully aware that it is time to sleep. 3. Bring your attention to every part of your body that touch your sheet. Feel the backsode of your head on the pillow. Feel your neck relax. Feel your back comfortly rest on the bed. Let your leg drop to the side, and your arms supported by your side. 4. When you're comfortable. Breathe, slowly in and out and feel your belly expanding and contracting. 5. Give permission for your mind to relax with your breathing. 6. You don't need to rush your eyes to close. Let it slowly gaze around and lose focus by itself. 7. Lastly, don't go back to your phone after these steps! Just sleep, the world could wait. Honor your intention and your body requests. Sleep. It is the sane thing to do. 🤪 What is your night routine to help you sleep better? #nightroutine #mindfulsleep #sleepbetter #insomnia

More Light During the Day

Exposing yourself to daylight during the day is a great way of letting your body know what time it is. After your skin has soaked in Vitamin D from the sun, it will know that it’s time to rest in the evening.
