Happy World Sleep Day! I have needed a whole lot of sleep to recover from Covid these last two weeks. I am feeling a little better each day, but the exhaustion is extreme! As I regain energy I look forward to posting more regularly again. So…how can we improve sleep? This graphic includes a few tips, and in case you missed it, check out my previous posts about circadian rhythm, Part 1 and Part 2.

Top tips from the graphic above:

• Know your limit for stimulant intake.

• Consult with your medical professional.

• Create a relaxing bedtime routine.

• Support circadian rhythm.

• Stick to a consistent sleep schedule.

• Unplug an hour before bed.

• Room darkening shades.

• Eat 2-3 hours before bedtime.

• Keep your room cool and comfortable.

A friend and I were also chatting yesterday about how magnesium glycinate (such as this supplement) has been aiding in our sleep quality. Know that there are various forms of magnesium supplements that are used for different purposes, not all are equal. Glycine is an amino acid that helps improve magnesium absorption and bioavailability. Magnesium glycinate is a form that has been known to be well tolerated with minimal side effects. Consult with your medical professional for an appropriate dose if you are considering taking it or any other natural supplements that may assist with sleep. Wishing you a restful night!
