Healthy practices to help you get a good night's rest.

  1. Keep a consistent sleeping/waking schedule, even on the weekends. Prime liver detoxification window is ~12-3am, so make sure you're getting your best sleep then. 9-10:00 bedtime is ideal for most.

  1. Put down any stressors before bedtime - don't pay bills, initiate a controversial discussion, over-research things. or start cleaning. Focus on gratitude, etc.

  1. Avoid having caffeine, alcohol, sugar, or higher intensity exercise later in the day or before bedtime.

  1. Keep gadgets and devices (including TV) away during bedtime. If you must use them, use a bluelight blocker. Opt for reading a book, listening to music, or prayer. Aim for temp between 68-70 deg.

  1. Get exposure to sunlight early in the day, walk barefoot if able, and perform deep, diaphragmatic breathing.
