Sleep: It impacts your health both physically and mentally. By improving your quality and quantity, you can improve so much about your health. The time and ability for your body to heal and reset. It helps with hormone health, weight loss, and so much more! (but you can sleep too much, too!)
Diet (what you eat, drink, and when) has an impact on how well you sleep. Listen for details on what you can do differently to improve your sleep by modifying what and when you eat.
Environment: consider color, clutter, noise, and scent. All of these can have a positive or negative impact on your sleep. Pets sleeping with you can also impact sleep quality.
Your Mattress: Is it time for a new mattress? Can you turn or flip your mattress to eliminate lumps? Is your mattress soft or firm? But, do you have pain when you wake - you might consider changing the firmness.
Monitor your sleep: the good better best philosophy applies! At a minimum, journal when you go to bed and wake and how rested you feel when you wake with what you did before you slept to tell what works and doesn’t. You can also use a sleep-tracking device like a Fitbit or Apple Watch or just your phone. These can give more details. Take it one step further to either use a technological mattress like Sleep Number or ask your doctor about a sleep study.
Big takeaways: Consider your ritual and your natural behaviors when getting ready to sleep. Lowering lights at night, getting sunlight early in the morning, and moving during the day can all help you sleep better at night. Following the pattern of the days and seasons will help you to improve your quality.
