If you’ve made it this far... give yourself a pat on the back!

For the next week, it’s all about actually laying that head down a few minutes earlier each night...

Or taking tiny chunk each night out of your primary sleep goal...

Lately, it’s been 11-11:10pm that I’m finally closing my eyes to fall asleep... so each night this week, I’m going to try inching that back about 5-10 min until I get to 10:30pm.

Tonight, as I’m writing this is Sunday... my goal is 10:55pm.

What’s your goal for this week?

Taking some time to gently move your body before sleep can be an excellent way to wind down!

Whether it’s an organic movement flow, some stretches you know you need to do more of or a restorative yoga sequence on You Tube

The most important part is showing up for yourself and your body to move and flow before bed!

Light is significant when it comes to sleep!

Exposing ourselves to bright light early in the day and avoiding bright light late in the day stimulates a healthy circadian rhythm.

I try to use the absolute minimum light necessary to do what I need to do at night. I also try to use blue light blocking glasses, lower the brightness on my phone screen and over time we have tried to incorporate dimmable lights wherever possible.

So todays challenge is 2 fold:

🌙Tonight- avoid light, use only what’s necessary
☀️Tomorrow morning- get out in the bright sunshine before 10am without sunglasses… just 10-20min is plenty

This might just be the hardest task of the week... leaving your phone out of your bedroom...

Why?

Revenge Bedtime Procrastination is one term I’ve come across.

Basically, we feel like with deserve something at the end of the day for all our hard work, so scrolling our phone fits the bill quite nicely when you haven’t had a moment to yourself... but in fact it is instead robbing us of sleep which then spirals due to the repeated impact of less than ideal sleep...low energy, impacted memory, impaired attention... the list goes on

The additional challenge here... how will you wake up on time without a phone to wake you?

Well, you might just need to get a good ole’ alarm clock!

The impact of late night scrolling is quite staggering and after diving into some of the research, I now have a bigger nudge to quite this habit myself!!

Anyone with me on this?

I’m sensing a bit of a deeper dive into this topic for week 2... comment below if you agree!

I have supported clients with improving sleep for the better part of my 15 year career in OT and one of my oldest tips for easing into sleep is to read.

For this challenge, I think reading is priceless because it
-Get’s you off your phone
-Shifts your brain away from those pesky mom worries, to-dos, etc
-Expands your world in one way or another no matter what your reading

For years though, I would always get a chuckle by recommending that my clients find a book that they actually found boring. This tip came out of my own experience with a yoga philosophy book that literally I could not get into no matter how hard I tried. It sat on my nightstand for years and instead of absorbing it’s content, it would lull me off to sleep within 2-3 pages without fail!

So if your not one for reading, don’t worry, the goal isn’t to EVER finish the book! The goal is to fall asleep and this one could just be your go to ritual!

Anyone else have a book that without fail lulls you to sleep? Please share

Mind whirling with all the things that motherhood and life bring along...

Finding it hard to turn off your mind...

You are not alone! This is one of the most common reasons for delayed or disrupted sleep!

Journalling before bed can be an excellent strategy for reducing those whirling thoughts making settling into sleep easier.

The way I do this is by detailing out my Google calendar including task list for the next day, but I also keep a journal next to my bed to work through any last minute ideas that I know will keep my mind occupied unless I work through it a bit.

Whether digital or written, clearing your lists, to-dos, ideas, reminders, etc out of your mind and putting them down somewhere you can refer to in the morning is a great step toward quieting your mind...

How do you quiet a whirling mind? If you have another idea, comment below!!
