Recap: Getting a Good Night’s Sleep
Having a Supermorning is key to having a great day. And a good night’s sleep is key to having a Supermorning.
Sadly, the world is in the midst of a sleep-deprivation epidemic. Some are too busy to sleep, some are too stressed, others just lead lives that are too chaotic.
Whatever your reason is, better sleep can probably help to fix it (ironic, isn’t it?). You just need to break the cycle.
So, let’s do just that…
The checklist
Here is the simple 1-2-3 to getting a good night’s sleep:
- Give sleep the respect it deserves.
- Recognize the central importance of sleep by watching the TED talk below.
- Install the Sleep Cycle app on your phone as described on Monday.
- Commit to giving yourself enough time in bed.
- Establish an evening routine in the hour before bed.
- As discussed in Tuesday’s post, it works to go all in!
- Things to include: soothing music or other audio, slow yoga and/or meditation, light reading, taking a hot bath or shower.
- Things to avoid: working or other mentally stimulating activity, any type of screen-time, eating or drinking, bright lights and loud music.
- Get your mind out of fight or flight mode.
- Commit to a proactive personal development journey as described yesterday.
I wish you an active and exciting day followed by a deserved night of peaceful sleep 🙂
