For those who never feel fully rested in the morning:
Apparently, there’s a lot of ways to breathe wrong and you’re doing them all while you sleep. Sometimes it’s because of you and other times it’s because of your environment or maybe it’s both but if you’re not getting enough air you will get low quality sleep☹️.
If you wake up feeling congested, a couple of things that really help me are a humidifier (love this one for travel also) and an air purifier (super quiet).
For those who have a hard time falling asleep:
- It feels like you either love melatonin or you hate it, I happen to love it. Finding your dosage is key tho and that might take some experimenting. I started too big and slept like a rock but felt super groggy waking up!!
- this is annoying but going to bed at the same time every night is so helpful. I’m sorry!! I want to be too cool for school also but having a strict bedtime will change your life for the better
For brains that won’t shut off:
Ok here is my trick to falling asleep when my brain is too loud (patent pending):
Step one: play a podcast or anything where people are speaking but set the volume low enough that you can’t quite hear what they’re saying
Step two: make overthinking work in your favor by focusing on your train of thought and tuning out the podcast noise. I think this works because tuning out external sounds is something that happens naturally as you fall asleep.
Ok hope that helps, sweet dreams! 💋
