Congrats on a productive month. I’ve become a fan of turning in at 9p or so and lights out by 10. I’ve also taken to audio books several going at one time - to suit my mood and need for wind down. I set a timer but often all asleep before it ends. It’s been so bitterly cold where I live the walking hasn’t been as strong as I’d like today the high is a sunny 30, practically bikini weather so I can get out there.
Excellent article. Like you I pretty much turn off the screens around 930 and read- usually about 30 minutes. Not in bed because I'd fall asleep. But I've found that this practice definitely helps me fall asleep faster and sleep better
Thank you! What you do is exactly the kind of wind-down routine that pays off - it trains your brain that it’s time to sleep. Thanks for sharing what’s working for you!
I have just found your Substack. From my first reading I can see why you are celebrated. Clear writing style, interesting and inspiring content and a talent for making an immediate connection. Congratulations on your success. Well deserved.
Wow, thank you for these kind words, Carole — I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. I’m so glad the pieces are resonating with you. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy what’s coming next 😊
