Have you ever heard of "Revenge Bedtime"❓

This is a real thing and I see it among mom's especially. This is the time that you know you should go to sleep, but it feels so darn good to have time to yourself with no kids. So, instead you scroll social media or watch Netflix and stay up way past your designated bedtime.
🌙
I've done this and I always regret it the next day. Sure, it was fun in the moment, but gosh darn it, being tired the next day stinks!!!
😴
I'm much better at catching myself and MUCH more aware of the impact it will have on my overall happiness. So, I am diligent about scheduling a show that I want to watch at some point, a few days each week, but not after 9pm!

This sauerkraut soup is the most delicious soup. The sauerkraut gives it a lovely texture and zing and the bacon provides a subtle smokiness. It’s hearty, filling and will warm your belly...and it's great (if not better) as leftovers!

Ingredients (serves 8):
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz bacon, chopped
- 1 stick celery, finely diced
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
-2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 3 medium, 1 lb potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/3" thick pieces
- 1/4 cup quinoa, rinsed, optional
- 2-3 cups sauerkraut, triple rinsed & drained (we use 3 cups)
- 8 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups water, or to taste
- 1 15 oz can white beans
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt, Pepper,to taste

Instructions:
1️⃣ Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Add chopped bacon and sautee until browned then remove with a slotted spoon and reserve.
2️⃣ Add finely chopped celery and onion. Saute until softened and golden (5 min).
3️⃣ Add sliced carrots, potatoes, 1/4 cup quinoa (if using), 8 cups broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer 15 min.
4️⃣ Add 2-3 cups of well rinsed and drained sauerkraut and half of cooked bacon (I keep some for garnish), white beans with their juice, and 1 bay leaf and continue to cook until potatoes are tender (about 10 min). Season soup to taste (I added 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper). Serve with fresh crusty bread.

Thank you to Natasha's Kitchen (again) for the recipe!

A super important sleep tool that I use is the journal by my bed and here's why:
🌙
Have you ever had a night where thoughts obsessively ruminate through your mind?
🌙
As a teen, I had the best come backs (when someone was mean to me) at night. When trying to fall asleep, I would re-envision the scenario over and over again and all the things that I could have done or said.
🌙
In University, I would think about exam details that I needed to remember or items I wanted to add to an essay.
🌙
As an adult (parent and business owner), I can think of 1000's of things that need to be done, especially after I've taken time off for vacation or otherwise.
🌙
My bedside journal is my solution though.

Just think about how we were taught to study a topic so that we didn't forget anything -- highlight, underline, summarize, review, etc. This is exactly what we do because we are petrified of forgetting to do something.

My trick since University has been to keep a notebook by bed. If my thoughts start to ruminate, I grab my notebook and do a brain dump. I put everything in that journal that I'm afraid of forgetting. Then I close the notebook and go to sleep, knowing that's it's all written down and I can take care of it (rationally and thoughtfully) tomorrow -- after a good night's sleep.🌙

If you feel like you are not on a healthy sleep schedule, don't stress. This is often a work in progress...and for many it needs to be supported every single night.
🌙
If sleep is an area that is difficult or even causes anxiety, consider talking to me about supportive therapy. Some supplements support melatonin levels, others reduce cortisol, while others help cut anxiety.
⭐️
Testing your Adrenal cortisol output either with a Dutch test or an adrenal panel can help identify if your cortisol is high at night. The dutch test also provides insight on melatonin production.
🌙
Whatever the reason for your sleep concerns, there are ways to figure out what is going on and address the underlying problem. All you need to do is ask!

This hearty turkey noodle soup recipe is warm, comforting, and simple to make. It’s the perfect lunch on a cold day, or pair it with a sandwich or fresh bread to enjoy it for dinner.
🍲
Thank you to Natasha's Kitchen for the recipe!
🍲
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced into circles
- 2 large sticks of celery, finely diced
- 1 small/medium onion, finely diced
- 8 cups turkey stock, or chicken or vegetable
- 4 cups water
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 Tbsp parsley
- 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups egg noodle pasta, or use 3/4 cup small pasta
- 3 cups turkey meat, white and/or dark meat
- 1 garlic clove, pressed or grated

Instructions:
1️⃣ Set a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add 2 Tbsp olive oil. Once oil is hot, add onions, carrots, and celery and sauté until softened and golden, stirring frequently, about 5-7 minutes.

2️⃣ Add broth, water, potatoes, bay leaf, 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Bring to a boil and continue cooking at a medium boil for 10 minutes.

3️⃣ Add pasta and turkey and cook for 5 minutes or until pasta and potatoes are tender. The saltiness of the turkey meat and stock will determine how much salt to add so season with more salt and pepper to taste.

4️⃣ Press in 1 garlic clove and stir in parsley then immediately remove from heat.

5️⃣ Discard the bay leaves and serve garnished with more parsley if desired.

Sleep is one of the most powerful immune medicines.
Even one poor night of sleep can reduce immune cell activity. Aim for consistent, restorative rest - your immune system does important repair work while you sleep.

If you have trouble sleeping, you may benefit from setting a regular sleep schedule and winding down at the end of the night by taking a bubble bath, reading a book, journaling, stretching or listening to relaxing music.

Limiting your use of electronic devices, like your phone, laptop, or television, before bed could also help increase sleep quality and prevent daytime sleepiness.
