Sleep Hygiene - behaviors and practices that promote high quality sleep
Let's back up for a second. I suffer from insomnia, generally and linked to anxiety. I'm talking nights where I get only 2-3 hours of sleep. I used to think it was all because of anxiety but after talking to a specialist it seems like there might be more going on...like a sleep disorder. I haven't gotten around to taking a sleep test (I know this is bad, and I'm working on it). In the mean time, I have started what I refer to as my good sleep hygiene journey. The following are the practices that I have begun to incorporate into my life in order to achieve better sleep.
I've been doing this for about a month now and things have really been better. I definitely still have some rough nights but I'm finding that I feel more refreshed in the morning and I am taking the medication less often. I am hopeful that things will continue to improve and I'll make sure to update you along the way!
