No one questions that children thrive on routines.
I still remember the bedtime routines and rituals from when my (now adult) children were little.
It was often a favorite part of the day for all of us.
We wouldn't have thought to put kids to bed without an unwind from the day first.
Adults need the same!!!
As a business owner, I am aware that it can be tempting to work (or play) right up until it is time to drop into bed.
Please don't do it!
Creating and maintaining an evening routine will help support improved sleep quality.
It can help signal the body to "get ready" for sleep, which allows for better sleep and can help us fall asleep more quickly.
It is as if the body is ready when we hit the pillow.
Avoiding blue light (think screens) is a key habit to include in your evening routine...or, countering that light by wearing blue blockers.
I go as far as to add red light to my evening routine to signal melatonin production.
Finishing eating two to three hours before bedtime is ideal for digestion AND sleep.
This counts as part of the routine!
Reading, time with loved ones, an evening walk, anything relaxing that you do regularly can be included.
I encourage you to add in some breathing or meditating to support a parasympathetic state before bed.
Including some biohacks in your evening routine helps further support optimized sleep quality.
One of my favorite tools to improve sleep quality is BrainTap. Check it out. Some of their programs are designed specifically to improve sleep quality.
Think about how you spend your evenings. Do you have a routine?
If you do, is it supportive of sleep? What can you up-level?
If every evening looks different, think about starting to build your routine.
What is one action you can start taking right away in order to start to create a sleep supporting evening routine?
