Calming Your Anxious Mind at Night

17/4/2020

 
If you are anything like me... some nights sleep has been hard to come by this past month since our world got turned upside down. It's either taken me hours to get to sleep, or I've had that dreaded 3am wakeup tossing and turning as my thoughts churn.
Picture
Some sleepless mornings have been more productive than others. I've actually come up with some good content and blog ideas! (lol) 

I can almost handle a 5am wake up if it's an idea that's worth it! But, I am no good with multiple nights of broken sleep. I know some people (like my husband) can thrive on little sleep, what about you?

I am NOT one of those people. I need 8 hours to function. The baby years were the HARDEST for me. My lack of sleep typically means get ready... a cold or something else is coming!

WHY IS SLEEP SO IMPORTANT ANYWAY?
  1. Mindset and clarity - sleep allows your brain to clear waste from the brain and supports learning and memory (fun fact!)
  2. Rejuvenating your body - sleep gives your body and organs time to repair cells and recharge your energy
  3. Immune health - sleep helps your immune system to regroup and fight off any bugs

BUT, WHY CANT I SLEEP WHEN I'M SO EXHAUSTED?
  • You can feel extremely fatigued but, in fact, not be ready for sleep
  • An active mind that is super charged won't shut off - the more your thoughts race actually the more alert you become
  • Your body could also be feeling tense from stress and still switched to "go mode" and hasn't yet got the "time for sleep" memo

What I've had to learn to do over the years is pretty simple - there are a few key things you can do during the day to help you get better, deeper, more nourishing sleep at night. 


Now, I actually set up my DAY for a GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.


What I realised recently was that none of the SELF-ISO environment we are living in right now is helping our sleep patterns because most of us are...
  • Staying up later than usual - lets face who has anywhere to be in the morning?! 
  • Tripling our amount of screen time - binging Netflix is LIFE!
  • Doubling our coffee intake - probably because having a coffee feels like you're taking a "break"
  • Drinking more wine - well... it's not like you have to drive or be somewhere!
  • Eating more chocolate - need I say more?

So, if your sleep has been “off” lately then check out my latest video.

I share some simple tips to help you find better sleep! Little things that I do during the day and in the evening to help me find sleep easier and get a better quality of sleep.

​And 
I am totally sending you love and good energy if you are in the thick of the no-sleep fog!

Take care, Janel
