5 Tips for Better Sleep
Daylight Saving is both the best and worst time of year. It’s the best because hello, one hour more of sun, and the worst because my routine is thrown off once again :(
If any of you have dogs and or children, you might be feeling this even more…let’s just say Dingo has been asking for dinner an hour earlier since the last time change - ha!
If this is you, I have a few tips for getting rid of that post- Daylight Savings Time fuzziness:
Try taking a drug-free melatonin supplement about 30 minutes before bed. I love NatrolⓇ Melatonin Fast Dissolve tablets or their delicious gummies! These don’t make me feel groggy or too tired in the morning, and they help me get to sleep faster and stay asleep all night! (Hot tip: they also have a kids melatonin formula that is safe and effective for children ages 4+!)
Try to wake and go to bed around the same time every night. This one is hard because of schedules, but I promise it helps to get and stay on a schedule.
Use an alarm clock instead of the phone! I just got a Hatch alarm clock and sound machine, and it helps so much with not looking at the phone first thing after waking up.
Eat dinner 2-3 hours before sleep…any later and I’m wired!
Drink sleep-promoting ingredients as part of your nighttime ritual…I love making this turmeric sleep latte before bed!
Sleep Latte Recipe (via well plated):
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 teaspoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons of almond butter
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon of ground ginger
A pinch of fresh ground black pepper
Heat these together in a sauce pan and drink warm before bedtime!
