123: Let Go Into a Blissful Sleep: Your Evening Letting Go Ritual

123: Let Go Into a Blissful Sleep: Your Evening Letting Go Ritual

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care October 26, 2024 Duration: 31:27

This month on the Habit Thrive Podcast is all about sleep.


We started with an episode exploring what contributes to a good night’s sleep and moved into answering the question: Why is it so difficult to put a daily routine into place?


On Episode #123 this week, we are using our Sleep Checklist to set ourselves up for a blissful sleep.


So, start by thinking about what time you go to bed.


10? 11:30? After Midnight?


If you have a consistently later bedtime and it works for you; by all means, stick with that!


But if you notice mornings are a little rough, and you’re always telling yourself “I need to get to bed earlier…”


Then plan for that.


Maybe back that bedtime goal up an hour or two.


From there, begin to plan your evening routine:


Dinner by 7pm

Stopping social media screen time by 8pm

Journal/Yoga/Meditaion

A warm bath at 8pm

A little TV or reading

In bed at 10


And, remember, your bedtime plan doesn’t have to go perfectly every time.


But I guarantee that once you start to notice how you feel after getting a blissful sleep, you’ll have an easier time following that sleep checklist.
