Sarah Forbes talks about how she gets a good night's sleep

🫠 I can't remember when I started to have problems sleeping. As a student I seemed to spend half of my life sleeping. But after my graduation I found myself spending hours lying awake until the early hours of the morning. After a few weeks of this I decided to do something about it. I often went to bed late at night; perhaps there was a TV series I wanted to binge watch, or l'd be watching random videos on my phone. So I tried going to bed at the same time each night, and do it before 11 p.m. This took a while to get used to but slowly I found myself getting into a regular routine.

✍🏻 I also took my friend’s advice and made sure I did things to help me relax before I went to bed.
I would start by writing a list of things I needed to do the next day so I wouldn't end up thinking about them during the night. I got into the habit of having a nice warm bath before bedtime and then did some relaxation exercises like meditation. Reading also seemed to work, but not in the way I expected. I would sometimes just fall asleep in the middle of a chapter!

🖥️ I also found some suggestions online about how to make your bedroom sleep-friendly. I used to have very thin curtains that let the light from outside shine through, so I changed these for thicker ones. I also removed all technology from the room like the TV and the laptop as these are not supposed to help you sleep, even if they are switched off. And of course I left the mobile phone downstairs!

💖 I'm pleased to say all these things actually worked. Of course, there are some nights where I find it difficult to go to sleep but mostly I'm getting a good seven hours' sleep a night. I started to make a note of my sleep patterns and this is also useful as it helps show things that were making me lie awake, like problems at work. So, I have to say it has been a very successful experiment.

Например:

Each year, when spring strolls in, flowers spring from the soil. 🌷
