My Master Plan to Sleep Better

AHHHHHH I’ve been having a very rough day bc I’m so sleep deprived rn. I slept at 4 am and had to wake up for a 9 am class. I’m really fed up with my bad sleeping habits but I haven’t done anything to fix it. I actually cant remember the last time I woke up feeling well rested... So here are some things I found online that im going to try implementing into my routine to hopefully feel more energized and present every day. I’m posting this to keep me accountable \(◦'⌣'◦)/\(◦'⌣'◦)/ 1. Have a consistent sleep schedule. This is hands down going to be the hardest one for me (T⌓T) I’m going to try sleeping by 1 am every night and waking up around 10 am. I think it’ll be hard for me to do this on the weekend since I like being out late, but I’ll definitely try to stick with this during the weekdays. 2. Create a peaceful sleeping environment. I love sleeping with the windows open. I think I fall asleep a lot easier if there’s some white noise in the background. Hearing cars pass by or trees swaying is so relaxing to me. I also put stress relief lotion on my hands before I get into bed. It smells like eucalyptus -my all-time favorite scent!!!! If I’m having a hard time falling asleep, I like to listen to Dominic Fike or watch a vlog on YouTube. 3. Stop eating late at night. ASOPFJEPASJPDI I have a really bad habit of eating at night... When I hang out with my friends, it’s even worse. We always get burgers or tacos at night… I think to prevent myself from eating late at night, I’m going to have a bit of a later dinner than I usually do, just so I’m not starving by the time I’m in bed. If I reallyyyyy have to eat, I’ll have a small snack like milk or bananas (T⌓T) (T⌓T) 4. Take a calming shower or bath. I hope I don’t get hate for this, but I refuse to take a bath. The only thing that kinda makes me want to take one is the fact that I can use a bath bomb, but I’ll probably only take hot showers. I think listening to music in the shower is really fun too. I’m an avid night showerer, so I’m going to try not to shower really late. I think it kinda wakes me up so I’ll shower a little earlier so that I can feel relaxed without feeling awake. 5. Exercise regularly. I don’t lift weights or anything, but I do try to reach 10k steps every day. I like to check how much I’ve walked every day bc it makes me feel accomplished LULZZZ. I hope reaching my 10k step goal every day will help me fall asleep bc I’m able to let my energy out before bed. I also want to incorporate some cardio into my fitness routine. I think that will really tire me out.
