Sleep was never really an issue for me when I was younger.
I could go to sleep whenever, wake up whenever, and function well.
But if there is one that affects me the most, it’s definitely sleep.
For me, sleeping at the right times is just as important as sleeping enough.
I’ma night owland am most productive in the evenings and late at night.
My mood also changes: I’m more irritable, more anxious, and more negative.
Exercise and nutrition don’t seem to have the same effect on me.
Of course, it helps when my room is dark, cool, and quiet too.
I don’t take baths every night, but I look forward to them when I do.
I also find that keeping my evening routine simple makes me more likely to stick with it.
I start by taking a 15-minute walk.
8 p.m.:Drink a cup of herbal tea.
Lately, it’s been a mix of chamomile andEveryDay Detox Lemon.
8:30 p.m.:Take mynighttime magnesium and adrenal support supplements.
8:45 p.m.:Do laundry.
Spray the pillow with my dream mist.
9:15 p.m.:Bath time!
9:40 p.m.:Take a warm shower withsoothing lavender soap.
9:50 p.m.:Brush my teeth and apply a rose waterfacial mistand face cream.
10 p.m.:Come downstairs to prep any items for my smoothie/breakfast in the morning.
Since I’m a night owl, I like to do this prep work ahead of time.
Fill up my glass of water with lemon.
I try not to get stuck in this mode.
10:30 p.m.:Time to relax and do activities that feel good.
I like to clear my mind and think of something positive to end the day.
11 p.m.:Starting to get sleepy.
11:20 p.m.:Closing my eyes.
