😴 Sleep Habits
Discuss your sleep habits and how you can improve them or a tip for improving sleep quality.
I try to get 7 hours a night. I have autoimmune issues and lack of sleep really messes my flares up. Sometimes I oversleep on the weekends which really messes my schedule up. Also, I generally can sleep without a pillow over my ears. Idk why.

My sleep habits might not be the best! *hides the clock* But I think that putting away electronics before bed can be helpful. Finding reading can be a good way to calm down before bed.

i try to sleep at least 8 hrs always and my friend @reliablebunny23 has been giving me tips to sleep better that I’m trying at the moment :) like always go to sleep and wake up at the same time even on weekends, even if u can’t sleep then go in the sleeping position and close ur eyes, no screens an hour before bed etc :)

To get better sleep, I try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. It really helps regulate my sleep cycle. Also, winding down with my favorite book and cutting back on screen time before bed makes all the difference for me!
My sleep schedule is all out of wack and it's very inconsistent. Some days I can sleep all day on and off and others my body runs off of very little. If I go to bed too early, then I wake up in the middle of the wee hours of the morning like I am now. Regardless of the time though, I'm up every morning at 5ish to get the kids ready. Sometimes I go back to bed and sometimes I don't. I don't have a specific sleep schedule 😴 so sorta just wait until sleep overtakes my body and I have no control of it. It's not healthy but oh well. Life, lol. 😆

I get sleep for a maximum of 8 hours on week days but it may exceed on the weekend. It depends. At night, I try to journal down my thoughts. But most of the days, mostly the weekdays, I come home tired. I guess I can reflect on my day and write down my to-dos for the next day. I can work on how I can improve my productivity for the next day.
im in bed by 11:00pm and sometimes earlier because of my meds that I take, I don’t really think I need to improve my sleep habits that much the only thing I need to do I limit screen time before bed
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I kinda am in need of tips myself lol.
Sleep schedule is currently a freestyle. But we trying to do better.😴
Some reminders for me and tips for everyone else- Try to journal your thoughts before sleeping so they don't take up your mind's-space later,
Try listening to ambient music or rain sounds,
Don't use any electronic devices for at least an hour before your supposed sleep time.
Just close your eyes and center yourself to a peaceful environment.
Good sleep hygiene - Don't use phone in your bed. Don't do ANYTHING other than sleeping on it if you can help it!

My sleep schedule tends to mess up during breaks, but I've been trying to take my sleeping meds on time. For me it's important to have darkness, a pillow or stuffie to cuddle and a heavy enough blanket. Because of this, my mom recently ordered me a weighted blanket- it came today and I absolutely love it!! It's so calming, I can reccomend for people who like heavy blankets/clothing as much as I do.
