Can't sleep?

1/26/2022

I know many of my teacher friends lie awake at night with ruminating thoughts. It's easy to do because it is often the first time we are still. I used to be that way too, but luckily, I have found a way to calm my mind and fall asleep more quickly. So, if you are tired of staying up late overthinking everything, here are a couple of things to try that have worked for me. 
​
  • Sit down and write it all out - every little thing on your mind. I call it my "mind dump." I've found that it works best for me in the morning, but I will get up and write if I am having trouble falling asleep. It doesn't matter whether you hand-write or type on a computer. The whole idea is to get your thoughts out. I have found that this activity helps me consolidate my thinking, make decisions, and take action in my day with more confidence. 
  • This next tip is a shortcut, but I have found the Sleepy CBD gummies from Winged Wellness to work wonders for me. About half an hour after I take a gummy, my body feels a little heavy, like I have a warm blanket on me. My mind slows down and I can easily fall asleep. I never feel groggy in the morning. 

Losing sleep because you are stressing about school is never fun. I've been there. By trying out these tips, I hope you can find an easier downshift at the end of the day.
