First of all you need the right mind set for it. You need to truly understand how sleeping is good for your body and how by going to sleep early you will be able to wake up early without effort and feeling tired !

Sometimes it can be really hard and I get mad at myself for not going to sleep right when I want to, but I try to list all the benefits in my head and always remember that trying and not quite getting it right is better than not trying at all. I’ve also gotten into a routine of doing the same every night to get my mind used to what to do and when to go to sleep and wake up. All you got to do is find the absolute most important things to you to do as your night routine. For example, mine is reading for 30 minutes, logging in what I read and how much I read, putting on some relaxing forest music, completely turning my device off (sounds and all besides the forest music and my alarm for the morning), and going to sleep. Hope this helped! :)

Before going to sleep I do take a nice shower preferably hot. And I get in bed and I say my thank you‘s for the day. Drink a nice hot cup of tea and relax. And while I close my eyes a breath with a conscious mind. And with every breath I tell myself good night with every other breath I say relax and then I drift into the night

Exercise during the day means that I am physically tired, which helps with sleep. Knowing that I have to get up early helps too. Also I just really like sleeping...

At first it was difficult, I watched TV until midnight but I started to programming myself... Put light off, TV volumen very low and be on bed at 22:00 take a hot cup of green tea and try to close my eyes

I prepared my bottle next to my bad, so i can drink as soon as i wake up. And i Just mediate to think The event that i’ve through on this Day. After that i play some relaxing music to accompany my sleep

After few days you wake up early you have no choice but go to sleep early... and more importantly I think that I am more productive at mornings so I rather go sleep early and start my day early than the opposite

Unfortunately, I’m not able to always manage this skill of going to bed early. When I consciously make effort this is what I do and it works for me: *shower *brush teeth *turn off all electronics and be sure to put you cell phone or iPad etc in another room to charge *i usually have a essential oils diffuser that I use lavender in. *i have to take bedtime meds and those make me drowsy anyway. *i actually got a weighted blanket as a gift and absolutely love it. It helps me sleep *i avoid caffeine *we keep the temperature set on a specific setting in the summer and winter. Currently 68. *sometimes I have to use earphones and listen to some sort of music that is time. *the biggest chore for me is when my mind won’t settle I write down my to do list for the next day or just a list and then the next morning I prioritize by choosing a few at a time and enter them into upcoming days

I stop using my phone an hour before bed, and use that time to close out my day by finishing up any chores and doing some reading.

I go to sleep without any issues 95 percent of the time. Cool sheets, phone games, or youtube. Humidifier and a heavy blanket. I love getting into bed
