Eat dinner even earlier
We know it’s hard to make a meal after a long workday. But, there are some super simple recipes – like cauliflower tacos – that make eating early on weeknights even easier. As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to avoid food for at least two hours before bed because your body can have a hard time falling asleep if it’s still digesting dinner. And, there are some food and beverages that make bedtime even more difficult. Read: caffeine, alcohol, and highly processed foods.
Say bye to blue light
Turn off your phone before bed or at least keep it out of reach. The light from our screens disrupts our body’s melatonin production, making it even harder for us to get those zzz’s. Did you know the blue light actually tricks our bodies into thinking it’s still daytime? Pro tip: If you read on an iPad or Kindle, you can try
Warby Parker blue light blocking glasses. (They’re cute, too!)
Set the scene
Set the bedtime scene by diffusing an essential oil before bed, like
lavender. It’s known for its calming and relaxing properties that can help ease feelings of tension. You can also try using white noise if you have roommates or family members that stay up later than you.
Achieve the cloud the bed
We’ve all experienced it. The ultra-cozy bed with the just-right mattress and fluffy down comforter. We believe in investing in our bedroom. After all, a quality night’s sleep is essential to our health (and happiness). We love
Buffy’s comforter. It’s made of hypoallergenic eucalyptus fiber, making it light and breathable.
