1. Avoid caffeine & other stimulants (coffee, tea, energy drinks, chocolate, cola, and some pain relievers) for 4-6 hours before bedtime.
2. Drink warm herbal non-caffeinated tea like chamomile.
3. Try Advocare Sleepworks (melatonin, chamomile, valerian) to help you sleep better and wake up energized!
4. Establish a sleep routine of going to bed by a certain time each night to allow for at least 8 hours of sleep (some need up to 10 hours to function properly).
5. Decorate your room to be your sanctuary (black out curtains, cool temp, dim lights, organized, comfortable bedding and the correct pillow for the side you sleep on, etc…).
6. Take a warm bath (can add Epsom salts and/or essential oils like lavender).
7. End day in prayer, write down what’s on your mind, journal, or write down To Do List for tomorrow.
8. Turn off TV and electronic devices (Ipad, cell phones, kindles, etc. . .).
9. Read a book or listen to soft or spiritual music and just relax.
10. Keep a consistent sleep schedule- go to bed and wake up at the same time each day sets the body’s "internal clock" to expect sleep at a certain time night after night.
