A Good Night Routine

A good night's sleep is not my strong suit.  There are plenty of reasons for me to do better. Not enough that sleep colours everyday with a veil of low energy and cynicism,  but there are volumes written about the connection between good sleep, health and wellness and even weight loss.. During sleep we process mental and emotional stuff.  We dream.  And if we needed any more persuasion, good sleep assists memory and learning.

We are back from holidays and our household is putting Sleep on "project" status.

Here is the plan
    No screens for an hour before bed, that includes TV.
    I am leaving the phone and tablet in another room, not the bedroom.
    If I wake up in the night, a quick "pit stop" and then back to bed, without thinking too deeply about the world

I went to an excellent "soul discovery"  workshop  with a view to learning some better meditation techniques. It was fun and honest and surprising.  Highly recommended.

So how is your sleep?  Do you wake up middle of the night like me, or do you having trouble  drifting off?
