Wisdom Nuggets

Relaxation Starts Before Bedtime: Taking time to unwind with a hot shower or a simple bedtime routine can set the stage for a better night's sleep. Small changes can signal to your body that it’s time to rest.

The Power of Magnesium: Incorporating magnesium into your routine can do wonders for calming the nervous system, whether through supplements or magnesium-rich foods like almonds and spinach.

Ditch the Distractions: Using blue light-blocking glasses in the evening helps prevent your screen time from interfering with melatonin production, supporting a natural sleep cycle.

Brain Dump for a Clear Mind: Writing down your thoughts and tasks before bed can help release stress, allowing you to sleep without racing thoughts.

Track and Adjust: Devices like the Oura Ring or Whoop Band provide insights into your sleep cycles, helping you fine-tune your habits for optimal rest and recovery.
