I don’t know about you but I have had difficulties sleeping in the last year or so.  I woke up worried about every single thing going on in the world or the smallest details about my family and friends and clients.  I didn’t have these crazy worry thoughts in the daytime.  Just at night.    In doing some research I found out that there is a thing called sleep hygiene that can actually help you fall asleep and stay asleep.  It turns out that sleep hygiene is a very real thing.  Learning about Sleep hygiene from Sarah Ezrin along with starting on Shaklee’s new sleep product  Dream Serene   I am happy to say that my sleep has improved well…..almost OVERNIGHT!   I am now going to sleep easily and staying asleep.

“What is sleep hygiene?

Sleep hygiene consists of all the behaviors you engage in throughout the day that ultimately affect your sleep.  You might think that  sleep habits are limited to what you do right before bed. Turns out that every choice we make from the very moment we open our eyes affects what happens when we later try to close them.

Some of the concepts are fairly intuitive, like looking at what time we stop consuming caffeine or what time we go to bed.

But did you know that what time you wake up can also affect your ability to fall asleep?

Or that simply turning the lights down after dark can significantly increase melatonin, our most important sleep chemical? Most of us know about melatonin as something we buy in a bottle, but switching our phones to night mode earlier can also help our body naturally produce it.

Here are 5 surprising ways you can improve your sleep:

5. Wake up earlier. I know, I know. You’re exhausted from not sleeping all night and can barely get out of bed, but our bodies are actually primed to rise with the sun. Alarm clocks have only been around since 1787, but modern Homo sapiens are believed to have originated 200,000 years ago, while the human lineage is estimated to have started 6 million years ago! With that data, sounds like our internal clocks are way more reliable than our iPhones.
6. Only use the bed for sleep. When you’re tired after a sleepless night, the bed can feel like it’s calling you by name, but according to the American Sleep Association, using our beds for anything other than sleep, like working on our computers, eating food, even watching television, can hamper our brain’s ability to associate the bed with sleep and delay falling asleep.
7. Open the windows. Sleep experts agree that we sleep best in cooler, fresh-air climates, suggesting we keep our bedroom temperature between 60 and 67°F. This may sound quite cold for some of you, but research has shown that we all sleep best when cold. Turns out little 9-year-old me was onto something when she’d put her pillows in the fridge.
8. When you wake up in the middle of the night, get up. Rather than tossing and turning for hours at a time, most sleep experts recommend that you actually get up and go do something, like get up and take Dream Serene or do a couple of light stretches. This is related to the brain’s associations with sleep and the recommendation that we should only be in bed when tired and sleeping. But before you reach for your phone or grab that remote, read #5 on our list.
9. Paperback books for the win. A 2014 Harvard sleep study found that people who used e-books (this includes iPads/iPhones) before bed had significantly worse sleep than those who used printed books. In addition to the blue light of electronics affecting our melatonin production, the people who used the e-books were found to spend much less time in the important REM (rapid eye movement) cycle of sleep. As a result, those using their phones or tablets were both more wired before bed and sleepier in the morning than those who used printed books. Time to bring the bookstores back!

Fall is a gorgeous season and no matter where you are it is a beautiful example of the Earth’s restorative cycle.  It also brings us busy school schedules and conflicting priorities, and the holiday season is always right around the corner—the opposite of restoration. Fall goes by quickly, which is why you can’t wait another minute to get started on your own restoration,  because  just like the Earth you need a restorative season as well.  I share with you some great ideas from nutritionist Sarah Scherer*  on how you can do just that;  which is restore yourself, just like the trees do!

“In this season, it is even more important to strategically schedule in time for your wellness. When everything else is scheduled and wellness isn’t, then your wellness will be the first to give and become a low priority. But when you schedule your wellness into your day, it becomes easier and you will just fall into wellness practices aka fall into your Well You. Start off your reset small by looking at your schedule. Pen (don’t pencil) in 5 minutes of “Well You time” into your day—every day. Bonus tip: It will be easier if you schedule this 5 minutes right after something you already do every day, like drinking your morning cup of coffee/tea, or after lunch, or brushing your teeth. Add the 5 minutes of Well You time and begin practicing it right away.

Here are some Well You ideas to try during those 5 minutes:

• 5 minutes of gentle stretching
• 5 minutes of journaling
• 5 minutes of core exercises
• 5 minutes of deep breathing
• 5 minutes of skin care
• 5 minutes of planning your day
• 5 minutes of gratitude meditation
• 5 minutes added to your sleep schedule
• 5 minutes of making a Life Shake to boost your day with fantastic nutrition
• 5 minutes of ______________ (What would you recommend for your best friend to try? Maybe you could try that too and have an accountability partner to support each other.)

Don’t want to stop at 5 minutes per day for your Well You? Awesome! Try some of these fall-themed wellness ideas to celebrate the fall and your Well You season.

Nutrition: Bring the fall colors into the house with these fall season fruits and vegetables.

• Try kale, green beans, and zucchini for your greens; yellow squashes like acorn, crookneck, yellow zucchini; pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and carrots to boost your orange; and red in your beets, apples, and radishes.

Hydration: Once the weather cools, the first thing we forget is hydration.

• When the sun isn’t beating down and we no longer feel the warmth on our skin, we don’t think about replacing our water and electrolytes. It is important to remember that we still sweat and lose water/electrolytes in all seasons. As we go into the fall, set a hydration goal. That could be in liters/ounces or a count of refills in your favorite water bottle, cup, or even mug (for hot water or tea).  And for some extra support you can add Shaklee Performance Hydration drink.

Exercise: Now that the weather is cooler, increase your exercise intensity.

• As appropriate for your body and your fitness level, try increasing your physical activity by duration, intensity, or routine. When we have been participating in a physical activity routine somewhat regularly, our body can become stagnant since it gets just strong enough or fit enough to complete that routine. That’s why it is so important to change it up. Trying something different so your body is challenged again, which will be beneficial for all your body’s systems.

Once you have your 5 minutes of Well You time down, build your habit by increasing to 10 minutes, then to 15, and so on. This is a very effective way of building a foundation of Well You and healthy habits that’s sustainable. Just like with the Earth’s transition in the fall, rooting down deeper to build our life’s foundation of wellness is essential.

To sum up my advice for how to prep your body and mind for fall, start by scheduling 5 minutes of Well You time. Prioritize this Well You time every day. If you do, you will be able to better manage all of the other priorities in your life. This will create an environment where you can “Fall into Your Well You” and build your life’s foundation of wellness.”
