Getting a good night’s rest. Isn’t that what we all dream about?
Getting a good night’s rest. Isn’t that what we all dream about?
There are those stressful times when it seems like we just can’t get a good night’s sleep.
Although there are many different reasons why this happens, we can’t seem to figure them all out. Let’s take these 3 steps in order for us to “switch off” at the end of the day, and get back into the right sleep mode.
1. Turn off the electronics
I know, I know. It can be tough. Sometimes there’s nothing more comforting than sitting in bed while catching up with loved ones, or just browsing through social media right before bed.
But the light from our electronics disrupts our sleep cycles in pretty significant ways.
I’ve learned that it can take up to 45 minutes for the effects of the blue light in our electronics to fade. It can keep us feeling pretty wired, and our minds overstimulated.

So if you want to ensure a good night’s rest, power down the electronics and settle down the old-fashioned way: with a good book.
2. Dim the lights
About an hour before bed, start to turn off the big lights in your home.
The dimming light will subtly signal to your brain that it’s time to start releasing melatonin (the sleep hormone that makes sleep oh-so-delicious) and you’ll start yawning without knowing why.
Give it a try, and let us know in the comments below if you feel the difference after a few days.

3. Practice “letting go” before bed
When you lie down for the night, sometimes it can be hard to turn off those racing thoughts. If you have a big day planned ahead, you’ll want to practice this.
Lie down, and imagine yourself totally letting go of all your plans, everything that happened for the day.
Picture yourself floating, weightlessly, on silky smooth water, and start to feel each part of your body gently relax.
