Once I get a fairly normal schedule back (due to school\u2014 youth group activities and such put me in bed later haha), I think I\u2019ll have a more consistent schedule of sleep and wake times. Don\u2019t worry about being perfect! You don\u2019t need to go to bed at the same exact moment every night- our bodies are somewhat resilient. Just don\u2019t make a habit of going to bed at 9, then 11, then 2, then 10, and so on. Our bodies appreciate a somewhat consistent routine. Let\u2019s say your normal bedtime is 10. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s that bad to stay up for 15-30 minutes later if something gets in the way of your nighttime routine. <\/p>\n<p>Also, make sure you figure out about how long it takes for you to finish all of your nighttime tasks, like getting ready for bed, reading, or whatever else you do. Once you gauge your time, you can start your routine around the same time every night and keep a relaxing pace. <\/p>\n<p>Hopefully this helps!!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-366370982\"><div id=\"thefa-2438781053\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Stop procrastinating.

You don\u2019t want to be a slave to a schedule. However, there is a balance. With my kids I have to give them several warnings in advance before actually changing an activity, such as stopping playing and eating lunch or going to bed. There needs to be a buffer of time to mentally prepare and start changing gears. Also, it\u2019s hard to stop some activities more than others, so choosing to do activities that are easier to stop or that are less addictive around bedtime helps. For instance, I find listening to music easier to stop without finishing than watching a show or browsing the web. I also find stopping a book is easier than stopping browsing my device.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cherith N. I\u2019m struggling with that too!!
