Iโm rounding up my top tips to get a better sleep, plus all of YOUR top sleeping tips that you gave me when I asked you onย Instagram. Bookmark this post as a resource to come back to over and over again!
Iโve struggled with sleep for as long as I can remember. I usually wake up in the night with my mind racing and canโt fall back asleep. Because of that, I am super proactive about doing what I can to improve my sleep. Iโll never be one of those people that sleeps 11 hours uninterrupted (truly, how?!), but Iโve been sleeping better lately after implementing a few things.
Tips To Get A Better Sleep (Mine And Yours!):
- No phones before bed.ย We donโt bring them in our bedroom so thereโs no temptation (they charge overnight in the kitchen).
- Go to bed earlyย at 10-10:30pm. Most peopleโs sleep is the deepest and most rejuvenating between 10pm-2am, so you donโt want to miss that window.
- CBD before bed.ย This has been a game changer!! I havenโt settled on a brand that I love, but have tried a few and they definitely help. I will add one here when I try one Iโm obsessed with!
- Goes along with my first point, butย no checking technologyย when you wake up in the middle of the night. This is the WORST.
- Wake up earlyย 6:30-7am. This creates a pattern (consistency is key!) and ensures youโre tired enough by bedtime to sleep.
- Workout!ย Getting a great workout in (even 20 minutes!) relieves stress, clears your mind, and tires out your body so you can fall asleep.ย Join me for your FREE 14 day trial!
- EARPLUGS. I wear them every single night. They drown out background noise, including my hubbyโs annoying snoring.
- Darken your bedroomย (black-out blinds are great) & keep it at a cooler temp.
- Magnesium tea or supplementย before bed. Itโs really relaxing, and also great for muscle repair and recovery.
- Sleep under a weighted blanket.ย I purchased one based on your recommendations โ it makes you feel all wrapped up and cozy, lulling you to sleep.
- Set the mood and get comfortable.ย Lavender essential oils, sleep mask, lip mask, comfy sheets and pyjamas. You need to be comfortable in order to sleep soundly!

Hey Alessia!
Wondering if you have any CBD or Magnesium tea recommendations? ๐
Thanks!!
Hi Shannon! I do! The CBD pen I love is called Alair – they are not in stock right now but I will let everyone know when they are. I’ve been using them for yearsssss. Wish I had a better answer for you on that! For magnesium, i love Natural Calm Tea and have it most nights before bed. Get the unflavoured one, and add some lemon juice to it yourself. It’s my fav nighttime ritual ๐ Hope this helps!
