Caregiving is a demanding journey, and it often feels like there’s never enough time for yourself—especially when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep. But what if I told you that establishing a simple nighttime routine could transform how you show up, not just for your loved one, but for yourself?

In this episode, I’m sharing why sleep is the ultimate self-care practice for caregivers and how it impacts your physical, emotional, and mental health. From personal experience, I know how easy it is to lose quality sleep while caregiving. When I started my caregiving journey in 2017, sleepless nights felt like a permanent part of the deal, but I learned that this doesn't have to be the case.

I’ll walk you through the three key steps to creating a nighttime routine that works—reflection, releasing stress, and focusing on sleep. You’ll learn simple techniques like deep breathing, journaling, and setting boundaries with your phone that can make a world of difference. We’ll talk about how starting small can lead to better sleep, more energy, and a healthier, happier caregiving experience.

Are you ready to wake up feeling refreshed, patient, and in control? Tune in to discover how a few small changes to your evening routine can help you find balance, reduce burnout, and make caregiving more manageable.

Join me as we dive into the power of sleep—and why it’s one of the most important gifts you can give yourself as a caregiver. Let’s create a routine that helps you thrive!
