Leann and Melissa discuss helpful evening routines and practices to improve sleep and the things they do to help with personal stress. 

Ponder Questions:

Am I getting the quantity and quality of sleep I need?

Am I adequately preparing for sleep?

Do I have a nighttime routine?

Am I taking time to calm down and ground?

What can I do to support my body?

What do I like to do to destress?

Invitation:

Do a personal assessment of your sleep and relaxation routines and see what you can change.
