It\u2019s one thing to do an activity before bedtime but once you lie down you need to stop. Our brain is constantly in fight or flight mode with all the messages we receive whether through work, emails and texts or even reading and we must learn to block the day out for a restful night sleep. I do simple breathing exercises: breathe in through your nose, hold and breathe out through your mouth for whatever amount of time that is comfortable for you at each step. Since I am focused on breathing I just relax and fall asleep \ud83d\ude34.<\/div>\n<\/div>
