Reading For Your Brain, Better Sleep Quality
How are you currently calming your mind and body down? How do you prepare to get a good night's sleep? Is it alcohol or medication? Is laying in bed letting your mind race? Are you doing anything to unwind? If not, let's think twice about that.
Good quality sleep is when you're brain takes out the daily trash. And guess what? Our brain takes on a lot of trash each day. Between the ANTs (automatic negative thoughts), trying to please people at our jobs, being so focused we forget to give ourselves a break, and the dirty chemicals in the air... our brain takes on a TON each day.
The best thing you can do about it is... GIVE IT A BREAK! Let it have a chance to breathe and take out the trash so it can work for you the next day.
