And especially during the holidays!! When sleeping in has potential!
I have a variety of things that I do to start my sleep journey (reading, lavender scented, silk eye patch, bedtime yoga, etc.) but unfortunately, I’m a Netflix binger, too, so I do still have my TV in my room. And so my room is not the oasis that it could be…

Here is a great tip for quick falling asleep:

What helps me:
- Puzzling (just finished this Ravensburger one)
- Reading (currently reading An Echo in the Bone Outlander #7 by the wonderful Diana Gabaldon)
- Not watching Sabrina or other scary things (Penny Dreadful) right before I fall asleep
- bedtime yoga with Tara Stiles or Adriene
- Lavender hand cream by L’Occitane
- Silky eye patch
- A little bit of fresh air in the room and if it’s a noisy summer night or flippin cold, I will shut the window.
- Foot cream by AVEDA with a quick foot massage
- Bedtime meditation by the app Simple Habit
- Breathing slowly
And some tips from the Mayo Clinic
