Bedtime Rituals for Boss Babes

Due to the current climate, staying motivated is more important than ever in reaching our goals. Unfortunately, more than 1 in 5 of us are so stressed from the pandemic, that we can’t sleep or are experiencing burnout. Stress manifests itself in different ways and can take a toll on our bodies, productivity and quality of life. 

While we might not all be able to make more time for self-care, we can optimize our time off for relaxation and proper rest. Proper sleep hygiene is not just about getting enough sleep but also getting quality sleep, so bringing work to bed or checking emails late into the evening can actually work against you. Studies show that in order for working professionals to get quality sleep, they also need to maintain consistent sleep rituals helping them properly wind down for rest. 

Bedtime Rituals for Productivity 

Creating bedtime rituals can help you turn your mind off if you’re someone who has anxious thoughts that keep them up. By implementing small, constructive habits like journaling or creating a next day to-do list, you can wind down while also working towards your goals.

Working around the clock will only lead to burnout, especially now that many of us are working from home. Consider adding a few steps to your bedtime routine that will help you mentally check out so that you can properly rest and prepare for the next day.
