i know that, even as im typing this, i'm about to give advice that i have no place to give. but okay, lets think of it this way.. in posting this, im challenging myself to follow through with it too. get a good night's rest.
now everyone's body is different so really, a healthy amount of sleep can be anywhere between 7-9 hours, on average. i really haven't done this lately (or maybe "never" is the the word im looking for), but i know that it's essential to start getting in a good night's rest for so many reasons. some of which include: emotional stability, better control of your weight, time for your body to repair itself, etc.
im a self-proclaimed insomniac (as im sure many of my gen y counterparts are as well) so i've implemented a few changes to help me:
1) turn off your computer/ tv 30 minutes prior
2) drink non-caffeinated tea
3) take a natural melatonin pill
4) read a book in bed (preferably not the hunger games)
5) use lavender lotion to calm your senses
mix and match however you see fit. some nights i honestly do all 5 because i can't get my mind to turn off. hope everyone gets a restful night of sleep tonight!
