We continue on with our weekly blog post called "Therapist Thursdays".
This week's question was “What’s the best thing I can do to get a good night’s sleep?" I posed this question to my team yesterday, and received an overwhelming response.
Here is what they had to say;
1. Eat a light dinner, don't watch tv and stretch before lying down for the night.
~ Ida
2. Sleeping is when your brain and body rest. Truly rest. It is usually the only time in a day that you will actually lay down. Work on turning everything off. And remember, that "Game of Thrones" episode you missed will still be there in the morning.
~ Patty
3. Use a sleep mask. Even the light from your alarm clock can be enough to disrupt REM cycles.
~ Abbi
4. Avoid caffine in the afternoon and evening; stay active, and take time out to meditate or unwind without tv, internet, or mobile devices prior to laying down each night.
~ Andrea
5. I find that exercise, especially in the sun outside helps me sleep.
~ Katerina
6. Sleep in a slightly cool room. Also, no big meals at night :)
~ Jennie
7. Meditation and listening to soft relaxing music always works for me.
~ Hideko
