Story
I sometimes have difficulty staying asleep - going to sleep is fine, but sleeping through the night can be a challenge. I realized by making a few small changes, it helped me get a better night's sleep. Some I understood intuitively and other tips here I learned through books on sleep.
1) Turn off all technology after dinner or at least 2-3 hours before bed
2) Warm bath with 1/2 cup epsom salts which have magnesium that gets absorbed more easily than taking a supplement
Adding lavender oil to the water which is known to relax you
3) Turning off or hiding all sources of light - closing the TV cabinet or any other light sources. Even our skin picks up on the light and disrupts our sleep.
Every time I've done this, I am much more relaxed and end up with a far superior night's rest
