Wrong.
Sleep is a process.
And so falling asleep actually takes time and more than a lot of people realize.
Even a healthy sleeper with no problems should take about 15 or 20 minutes to fall asleep.
I mosey into my bed.
And now while I'm doing that, thoughts are flying in because of course of what I forgot to do or I need to do.
And I come back to this idea of no, not now.
Now is my time.
I've done things for my students.
my partner, my kids all day.
And now is my time to restore and relax.
And if anything, any thoughts are still fighting to the surface, I write those down at my nightstand.
So I've done the 4-7-8 technique and then I mosey into my bed.
I read a couple pages in a book.
I do progressive muscle relaxation.
I clench and release every muscle group starting from the toes and I inhale, clench, and then exhale, release.
I love that.
One of my favorite tips for a great night's sleep is this idea that routine is absolutely queen. And we're really not meant to keep different sleep schedules as human beings. Falling asleep at 2 a.m. one night, 10 p.m. the next, understand how vitally important consistency is in our sleep routines.
Because then our brain and our body starts to understand when it should be tired and prepare for sleep. and when it should be awake. And then it allows ourselves to better organize ourselves and get a lot out of our sleep episode. The best sleep comes when we're keeping our sleep times consistent. So falling asleep at the same time and waking up as close to the same time as possible.
Absolutely. And I think we're slaves to our alarm clocks. But we don't really talk about the wind down time. It's kind of like a fuzzy idea, fuzzy game plan. It's not a, okay, 1030 is when I'm going to start to power down. I'm going to get off my phone. I'm going to boil a cup of, a small cup of tea, herbal tea, and then start my bedtime ritual and wind down routine.
