Rec'd on 🛌 sleeping tips for anxious people
I just go like the energizer bunny until i run out of battery every night and then sleep in
Perks of setting my own work schedule lol…
I would recommend the shittiest lowest quality magnesium you can buy because the less bioavailable it is the sleepier it will make you—take more than you think you need but be careful because it will likely make you shit yourself but that’s part of its charm. If that sounds too powerful and you’re afraid try magnesium glycinate ;)
Try avoiding stimulating things at night and I would say you should probably meditate; there are a lot of guided bedtime meditations on YouTube—perhaps pair with a legs up the wall pose or you could even do yin yoga which I try to do every night. Maybe take a relaxing bath. Your nervous system is probably going crazy so I would say reducing stressors could also probably help. I take rhodiola rosea, ashwagandha, and phosphatidyl serine for my cortisol levels but check for drug interactions with anything you take. Big fan of L-Theanine too…

I have been so blessed by this; I am now installing adaptogens into my belief system.

platypus_angel they have really worked for me over the years as someone with diagnoses of C-PTSD and major depressive disorder in conjunction with therapy, lifestyle medicine, and yoga especially the rhodiola rosea!!! I take maca root too during the day but that’s very energizing lol not really material to the issue

Magnesium Glycinate
Like in Calm chews or capsules, taken at 9 pm (see what time that has you fall asleep). Or magnesium in your bath, if a bath relaxes you anyway. Then do a quick vagal tone exercise routine once in bed - it’s crazy how it works, totally thought it was BS until I tried it. And be sure to go OUTSIDE to get sunlight by 10am every day (I’m bad about this, but even going later is better than none).

Magnesium glycinate
Exercise during the day if you can manage, blue light counteracting filters on electronics, reduce stimulation, yin yoga for sleep videos on YouTube, YouTube white noise videos or running a fan when going to sleep. Yogi Tea also makes this incredible sleep tea

I take an absurd amount of magnesium glycinate every night
put on a silk nightgown, fill up my bedside pitcher with water and place a glass alongside it, water-floss and brush my teeth, wash my face and moisturize, put my hair up in a ponytail with a silk scrunchie. I sleep with a heated blanket underneath my bed coverlet just to feel something. I usually wear sleep headphones that are also a blackout eye mask (I listen to rain sounds) but my dog just stole and destroyed the second one in a row so I am feeling like god doesn’t think I deserve nice things. My body wakes me up at the same exact time every morning on the dot no matter how late I stay up (which I often do) and lately it’s been 8:00 am. Sometimes if I’m feeling saucy I’ll do an evening yin yoga session

Never changing
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
