As women, we juggle so much in our lives: careers, families, personal goals, and the endless to-do list. It’s no wonder that getting enough sleep often falls by the wayside. But a good night’s rest is essential for our physical and mental health, our productivity, and our overall well-being. So, how can we cultivate a sleep routine that actually works for us and helps us achieve the elusive “glow” we all strive for?

The Power of a Consistent Sleep Schedule

Just like our bodies crave routine for meals and exercise, they also thrive on a consistent sleep schedule. This means going to bed and waking up at roughly the same time each day, even on weekends. This helps regulate our body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, known as the circadian rhythm. When our circadian rhythm is in sync, we fall asleep faster, sleep more soundly, and wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

Crafting Your Ideal Sleep Ritual

The hour or so before bed is crucial for winding down and preparing for sleep. Create a relaxing bedtime routine that signals to your body that it’s time to wind down. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Dim the lights: Bright light suppresses the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. Dim the lights in your bedroom or use a sunrise alarm clock that gradually brightens the room before your wake-up time.
• Power down: Avoid screens for at least an hour before bed. The blue light emitted from electronic devices can interfere with sleep. Opt for reading a book, taking a warm bath, or listening to calming music instead.
• Unwind your mind: Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation. These can help quiet your mind and prepare your body for sleep.
