We all know sleep is really important, but a lot of us are finding it's a challenge getting a solid nights sleep in these difficult times. If you are having a hard time falling asleep you can:
exercise 30 minutes a day
limiting sugar, chocolate and caffeine especially after 12 pm
don't eat too late into the evening
avoid screen time at least 1 hour before bed
journal your thoughts
read a book
have a dose of either liquid cal-mag or magnesium to relax
do a progressive muscle relaxation
take a slow deep breath in over 5 counts, pause, and exhale slowly over 8
when you breathe in say to yourself: "sleep is good" and as you exhale say to yourself "I love my bed" (repeat over and over until you drift off)
