127: Are You Ready to Rock Your Sleep Habits and Routine This Holiday Season?


Listen Later

As we wrap up November and head into December, many of us are prepping for a busy holiday season ahead.


The next month is sure to be filled with friends, family, parties, rich foods, late nights, disrupted schedules and general chaos.


It’s an exciting time that often brings us feelings of joy, love and warmth … and exhaustion.


It’s no coincidence that we have spent the past couple of months exploring how to strengthen our sleep score - It’s all been in preparation for the month of December and the holiday season!


Today, on Episode #127 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are focusing on 3 steps to sleep success this holiday season.


Step 1: Determine your non-negotiables.


Think of the things you do for yourself on a daily basis that would be easy to maintain during this tumultuous season.


Maybe you take a hot bath every night or use a specific skincare routine each morning.


You might take a walk after lunch or have a cup of tea while you watch your favorite sitcom after dinner.


Don’t beat yourself up if you aren’t able to keep to your usual schedule. Give yourself some grace and stick to the simple things that work for you.


Step 2: Understand your unique food, beverage, and supplement triggers.


Does herbal tea keep you up at night?


Does a heavy meal leave you feeling sluggish and bloated the next morning?


Maybe you find that certain supplements help you wind down after a long day.


Try and be mindful of what you’re ingesting and when; and just remember that your timing may not always be perfect.


Step 3: Balance your physical and mental being with love and kind words.


When worry strikes, just remind yourself:

I am resting my body.

I am letting my heart rest.

Right here, right now, all is good.


These simple phrases can shift your mindset and help you relax. And if needed, don’t hesitate to seek support—whether that’s a conversation with your doctor, therapist, or trusted loved ones.

With these 3 steps in mind as you reflect back to the past several weeks of sleep talk, you will be armed and ready for the holiday season!
