Sleep Hygiene
- Stick to a schedule
- Keep the bed at a cool temp.
- Magnesium Glycinate
- Magnesium helps ?
- Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and helps calm things down.
- Monitor eating and drinking, and blue light at night.
- Notice unhelpful thoughts about sleep and challenge them.
- "I'll be a wreck if I don't sleep well" = "I might be drowsy, but I can push through"
- Stimulus Control - Only associate the bed with sleep
- In bed stressing about not sleeping = the bed is associated with your stressing.
- If not asleep in 30 minutes, get up and relax elsewhere for a while.
- Relaxation Techniques
- Meditation
- Deep breathing
