One of the best ways to reset yourself is with a great night’s sleep! This can be tough to achieve, so it helps to understand how sleep stages work.

Deep Sleep - 10-25% of sleep. Builds and repairs your body.
REM Sleep - 20-25% of sleep. Regulates memory and emotion.
Light Sleep - Most of your sleep cycle. Light sleep fills in the gaps between deep sleep and REM.

Adjust your Bedtime Routine

Switch electronics into “night mode” to filter out blue light.
Aim for a consistent bedtime that gets you at least seven hours of sleep. Night owls can start by rolling bedtime back 15-20 minutes each night.
Two hours before bedtime, wind down with an activity that relaxes you, like a brief nighttime stroll, an audiobook or a warm shower.
Keep your bedroom cool (Around 65 degrees is ideal) and dark with light blocking curtains.

Daytime Activities for Better Sleep

Wake up at the same time each day to reset your body’s internal clock.
Avoid oversleeping, even on the weekends — different schedules create a feeling of jet lag that leaves you more tired.
Start the day with sunlight and fresh air — a cup of coffee on the porch or a morning walk. Let in as much natural light as possible in your home and workspace.
Make time for exercise! Doesn’t have to be strenuous — just something that gets you moving for at least 15 minutes per day.
