As we start 2025, I want to challenge you to make one change for better sleep so you can start the year off refreshed and ready to get after all you want to do this year! Healthy sleep will enable you to not only be healthier, happier, and more productive, but simply be your best in 2025. 💪💤

Start with one small change tonight. Try my recommendations as a starting point to be smarter and more strategic with your sleep:

📝 Prioritize 5 minutes every day to process your thoughts (i.e. journal or write a To-Do list) to minimize a racing mind in bed. Pro tip: do this activity at the same time daily and outside of bed.

📖 Start a 5 minute wind down routine before bed (i.e. enjoy that book you’ve been wanting to read, try breathing exercises or stretching). Pro tip: do this in dim light to help prepare to sleep.

📱Power down devices earlier than you did in 2024! Pro tip: try leaving devices across the bedroom (not next to your bed where you’ll be tempted).

🔔 Set a daily alarm on your phone 30 minutes before your target wind down time to help keep you on track to hit your bedtime target.

🛏️ Invest in sleep tools to optimize your sleep environment at home and while traveling (see links in bio).

If you start to implement a sleep-smart system now, you will be set up for better rest when you sleep well, but importantly also when sleep challenges like stress, kids, work, and life inevitably occur! You got this, let me know what sleep change you’re going to make this week!
