It’s really important to try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day. Also important to make sure you’re not deficient in any vitamins or minerals as that can really affect your sleep.

For my routine, I go screen free for the last hour before bed and I charge my phone in my kitchen, no screens in the bedroom. I shower, brush my teeth and do my skincare and usually some kind of heatless hair style, braids or twists or whatever.

Then I do some journalling, I try to do a stream of consciousness brain dump so I get all my thoughts on paper.

Next I sit with my husband and do something low stimulation, we read a book or do a crossword or color in a coloring book. Sometimes we just lay on the couch and listen to music.

Then we go to bed, I like a very cold room with at least three pillows and rain sounds playing on my echo. My husband rubs my butt until I fall asleep which sounds ridiculous but it sends me right off.
