Start Loving Bedtime

Start LOVING Bedtime

If you dread going to bed - wondering if you're going to be able to fall asleep or if you're just gonna lie there, stressing about not being able to sleep the longer you stay awake - it’s time to take your bedtime back!

START LOVING BEDTIME IN 5 STEPS

STEP 1: Pimp Yo Bedroom Checklist

Darkness = Total cave darkness
Electronics = None, nada, zip. Set up a charging station for your phone out of reach
Temperature - Ideally 60-66deg (#TexasSummersFML)
Surfaces = Clear and clutter-free, let's Feng shui my fam
Air purifier = Better air quality, better breathing, better sleep (I said that like Papa John's slogan in my head)
Aromatherapy = Get bougie with that lavender, jasmine, vanilla @snow.lotus
Mood lighting = Salt lamps in bedroom and bathroom

STEP 2: Set A Start Time

If you really wanna experience magic, get more consistent weekdays thru weekends. Back up your start time no more than 20-30 minutes at a time or you'll be lying in bed cursing me.

STEP 3: The Essentials

Dim lights starting after sunset
Pack the next day's food
Lay out clothes for next day
Big glass of water on nightstand for AM

STEP 4: Pick Your PM Anchors (1-2 at most to start)

Movement = Pick 2-3 movements that include hips & back
Meditate = @sbtbreathe and Insight Timer for guided or simply create a quiet space to clear your thoughts of the daily accumulation of clutter
3:1:1 Journal = 3 Wins + how you recovered that day + how will you be bettah tomorrow
Brain dump = 2-3min of to do lists, worries, thoughts
