What does your nighttime routine look like? Do you get up from the couch and go right to bed? Or do you have a “warm up”? Whenever we go to play a sport or exercise, we have a warmup. The warm up gets you ready to train. Sleeping should have a “warm up” as well. Personally, what works for me is a non-caffeinated tea, with some light stretching or foam rolling. Then I will do my regular bathroom business. Once I get into bed, I will read for about 20 minutes. The knockout punch for me is the app “Headspace” (FYI total access is free for educators). They have a program called “Wind Downs”. The nice thing is that it gives the mind a little task that keeps your mind from racing. What is your night time “Warm up”?
