| Strategy | Notes/Action | |
| 1 | Stick to a routine. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every morning. |
|
| 2 | Wind down at least 90 minutes before bed. Dim lights, come off phones and laptops. |
|
| 3 | Drink a night time herbal tea or a fresh glass of water. No caffeine, sugar or alcohol. |
|
| 4 | Create a night time ritual. Take an Epsom Salt bath or a warm shower. Massage face and hands with a natural moisturiser. |
|
| 5 | Create a sanctuary in your bedroom. Cosy fresh bedding, soft lighting, diffuse oils or spray your pillow with Sleepy Pillow Mist below. | |
| 6 | Read a book. |
|
| 7 | Use a journal to write down any worries or concerns you may have. Brain dump. What are you grateful for and what have you done today that you are proud of? | |
| 8 | Practice deep breathing. Breathe in through the nose deeply from the belly and out through the mouth 4 to 5 times. |
|
| 9 | Listen to a meditation app or relaxation script. |
|
| 10 | Be consistent and keep it up for at least a month to notice positive changes. Be ok with the odd sleepless night. |
