A step-by step guide to getting a healthy amount of sleep (7 to 8 hours)
Set gentle reminders using the alarm settings on your phone.
Then go to bed, and get ready to enjoy your 8 hours of sleep.
It should take you about 15 to 20 minutes to fall asleep, and you can use this time to silently give gratitude by replaying your day, and thinking about all that you have to be grateful for. Or thinking about your loved ones, or anyone who might have helped you that day, and give thanks silently in your mind.
Or you can focus on your breath. Simply breathing in and out through your nose. Noticing how the breaths get longer and deeper and more relaxed.
Protect your sleep window as if your life depends on it… because actually, it does!
