I do a lot of the typical "self care" things: I wake up early (430-520am), go to the gym most mornings, read at home some mornings (standing, in my case), eat healthy, no alcohol, etc. Things I pay attention to when I realize my sleep isn't awesome: * I meditate twice a day, if even for 5 minutes. Usually 10-15 minutes. * I start my "going to bed" routing a bit early... usually around 8pm if I want to be in bed by 9 or 930pm. I consciously disrupt ruminative thoughts during this: no thinking about work, no negative self-talk, no circular thinking. Wash dishes slowly, put things away, tidy up the house, etc. * I have a few playlists programmed in Alexa for bedtime: piano sleep, Max Richter sleep, Dustin O'Halloran sleep. I rotate each night. * If I'm really bothered or restless, I'll listen to a yoga nidra bedtime recording. Sometimes a voice & words will do the trick and quiet my mind. * There are some "bedtime yoga" routines on Youtube that I've found helpful. I find it best to do it before trying to go to bed -- I do this when I sense I'm a little wound up. * If I'm really, really still restless, I consciously disrupt my thoughts and count my breaths to 40. I start with deep breaths and then let them normalize into longer, but regular breaths. I never really make it to 40, I'm not sure I even make it to 20. Thing is, I don't really have to do this very often. Good sleep kind of builds on itself, especially if you find the habitual routines and stick with it.
