I'm a total wuss when it comes to sleep...
On 9 hrs sleep = you could tell me my business is hrs away from bankruptcy and I would be EXCITED to tackle the problem 💪
On 6 hrs = The slightest disagreement or problem and I'm an anxious wreck 😭
I used to be a TERRIBLE sleeper...

I was an insane night owl. I'd stay up until 5AM most nights working, then sleep in until 1 or 2PM.
When I had kids, this stopped working. To say the least.
I realized I had to get my shit together and learn how to sleep!

🙅 No eating anything for 4+ hrs before bed. Wearing a glucose monitor + Oura Ring showed me just how much of an effect a late (even 3-4 hr before bed) meal or snack has overnight on sleep quality.
🥤 No drinking anything for 1.5 hrs before bed (so you don't wake up to pee)...

🕐 Stick to a super strict schedule. Get into bed at exactly the same time every night.
📙 If you read before bed, only fiction or non-work related stuff that won't stress you out.

💊 300mg Phosphatidylserine if feeling stressed/wired before bed (helps reduce cortisol levels so you can fall asleep)
