Developing A Nighttime Routine For A Better Night's Sleep

Prepare For The Morning

What do you need to get your morning started? What must you remember to do? Making your mornings easier by preparing for them the night before helps dramatically reduce worry and stress, which subsequently helps you fall asleep. Lay out your outfit, pack your lunch, and write down anything you need to remember to do before leaving the house in the morning, such as specific emails to answer, to take out the garbage, or to empty the dishwasher. This way you do not have to remind yourself of these things as you lay in bed and unconsciously prolong the time it takes to fall asleep. Everything will either be ready already or will be written down on paper for you to look at when you wake up. In any case, it will be out of your head.

Developing a nighttime routine using this advice is key to obtaining a better night’s sleep. Gone are the days of feeling exhausted when you have just woken up!
