establishing a nighttime routine.

Sleep isn’t just nice-to-have. It’s the foundation everything in your life is built on. Your mood, focus, health, and even your relationships are dependent on this luxurious nighttime activity.

Sleep affects your mind and body. Good sleep means more mental clarity, better response to stress, and an immune system that works to serve you. Poor sleep hygiene is linked to irritability, high blood pressure, weight gain, and less patience for the people you love.

Great news! There are many remedies to combat the inability to fall asleep and or stay asleep. Sure, I suppose an easy answer may be to consume a prescription pill, or even an over-the-counter option. Melatonin can be effective in helping you fall asleep, although it’s not likely to help you stay asleep. You can count sheep, activate progressive muscle relaxation, blink your eyes really fast, and so forth. But what if I told you that training your brain can be one of the most effective ways to lull you into a peaceful and restful night’s sleep?
