How's your sleep routine?
Hey friends, it's Sunday. I'm cramming in my Nutrition course trying to finish it up before year end. That's the goal. Who wants to hold me to it?
I just finished part 2 last night and I've moved on to part 3. What I loved about the end of Part 2 was the Macronutrients, Micronutrients and Stess/Recovery/Sleep sections. Sleep is so underrated. I used to be that person who said, "i'll sleep when i'm dead". After learning more about how sleep impacts us (i thankfully learned this before last night), I've made major changes is my mindset and my habits around sleep.
What we think sleep does…. Refreshes us
What it actually does is help us….
Lose fat
Gain muscle
Recover and repair
Regulate blood sugar
Regulate hormones
Regulate hunger
Clean up our insides
Get rid of waste products
More sleep, more….
Vitality
Energy
Brain health - think, learn and remember more
Emotional health - happier, calmer, more stable
Recovery from workouts, injuries, illnesses.
Here are the standards we set for our sleep routine(since B and I sleep together, we try to do this as a team):
Try to turn off electronics an hour before bed
Make a cup of decaf Tea or an LMNT chocolate salt in hot water (so yummy and curbs any sugar cravings)
Put on blue light blocker glasses (looking to invest in some red light bulbs for around the house)
Do something relaxing, mindless
Take Magtein from Momentous
Head up to bed before 10pm
Turn on a meditation when we get into bed - love the calm app - (Here’s a limited time guest pass to try Calm, free for 30 days. https://www.calm.com/gp/77RH64EXFK36NLLW38)
Cuddle
(We have been using a grounding sheet - seems to help me sleep better. It also keeps me off of my phone in bed b/c it shocks me if i'm on it and it doesn't feel good - LOL)
What does your sleep routine look like?
