=== Sleeping and Relaxing ===

* Take 3 deep breaths. Your heart rate will drop and your mind will clear.
* Meditation for 20-30m will help keep you present in the moment and be better able to focus on a single task. (start with 5-10m)
* Sleep Mask: Using an eye mask or blackout curtains can completely transform your sleep because darkness is key to keeping melatonin flowing.
* Turn temperate down to 65 to 68 degrees for peak melatonin production during sleep. 
* Get sunlight to increase help your mood.
* Use static black out film to block light from coming into the bedroom.
* Wake up at the same time every morning: Your body’s sleep system thrives on consistency. Keeping a regular wake time is the most realistic way to maintain a consistent schedule and regulate your sleep hormones.
* Schedule downtime: Set aside some time every week (or even a slot every day) to just do whatever the heck you want. You can blast music, zone out on your phone, indulge in a hobby– whatever brings you joy.
* Avoid Caffeine Before Bed: Skip caffeinated beverages within 5-7 hours of bedtime.
