Let's get cozy, because this week is all about sleep! 😴 Yes, I know, 'sleep more' is hardly groundbreaking advice. But this is not about the quantity of sleep, but about the quality and the routine around it. And as remote professionals, we often mess this up BIG TIME.So, for the next 7 days, l invite you to build a sleep foundation that actually works.Here's the plan:1. Establish a Bedtime Routine: Think of it as a mini-spa treatment for your brain.For me it's reading in dimmed light or chatting with my partner to reflect the day to unwind.2. Practice Calm Breathing: Forget counting sheep! Try deep breathing exercises to slow your heart rate and calm your mind.Box breathing is my favorite. (You can find examples on YT or spotify!)3. Create a Relaxing Sleep Environment: Your bedroom should be cool, dark, quiet. Maybe invest in blackout curtains, a comfy pillow, whatever makes you feel safe and snug.4. Avoid Screen Time 1 Hour Before Bed: This is a tough one, I know! 😬 But the blue light from screens messes with your melatonin (the sleep hormone).5. Journal to Release Thoughts: Is your brain a hamster wheel of to-dos? 🧠 Dump them out in a journal! It's like giving your brain permission to relax.6. Plan a Relaxing Evening Activity: Don't just crash on the couch. Intentionally choose something calming hours before bed. A warm bath, gentle yoga, or listening to soothing music can work wonders.7. Reflect on Your Sleep Quality: This can help you to figure out where you can adjust! To decide on how to track your sleep. Especially how long you sleep, how rested you feel, and what factors might be affecting your sleep.I know this might seem like a lot, but even small changes can make a HUGE difference.What's your favorite from this week?Let's support each other in the quest for better ZZZs! 😴👇
