Most of us do the same things before going to bed, Whether we play on our phones, read a book. Drink tea. Or shower. These habits can have a bigger impact on the next day then we may think. Here are some tips to make your days much easier.
PLAN Your sleep
Haven't you noticed when you keep a set schedule you feel better overall? Having a set sleep schedule makes it easy for you to get enough sleep every day, It also gives you a chance to plan out your day more effectively.
Journals
DO you have insomnia as I do? I toss and turn in bed Because i"m so full of thoughts. Buy yourself a notebook or a fancy journal and write your thoughts down before you go to bed each night. It will allow you feel better and You'll sleep nicer! Plus it's fun to look back and read those entries.
Get Away from Your electronics
Not only does using all those fun apps on your phone keep you awake longer, Because of the light from the screen. But it also starts your brain up again, When it should be winding down for the night.
Avoid electronics for an hour or two before bedtime, So you can sleep much better and have a more productive day.
Make Your TO DO Lists And plan the next day
One of my favorite things before I go to sleep, Is to look at my planner, I mark off the things I accomplished from the day, Which boosts my self-esteem. I then write my todo list for tomorrow. Writing it the night before allows you to be thinking more clearly when you write it, If you wait until the next morning you may be too groggy to remember what you wanted to do.
Prepare Breakfast
If you have trouble getting your breakfast each morning, You can have it ready to go early! If you plan to just have oatmeal. Have a bowl of oatmeal ready without the water, Set up, so it's easy!
If you want to eat eggs and bacon, Have everything next to each other in the fridge. Or if you don't mind leftovers you can cook it early, and eat it the next morning. That way you are less likely to skip breakfast.
Conclusion
Having things ready to go to bed, Will allow your day to go smoothly. A little bit of preparation makes a big difference!
