13: Sleeping Better

Preparing for sleep is more important than you may think. Staying up an extra hour may not sound like a big deal, but it can ruin your productivity for the next day. Make sure that you have a set schedule for when you go to sleep and when you wake up, have a nightly routine, and use your mind & body all day so you are tired by the time you go to bed.

After standing up at your desk, working out, playing outside with your kids, eating well, and having a productive evening routine, you will find that falling asleep is that much easier. Still having trouble falling asleep? Try taking melatonin or magnesium and see if that helps you. These small changes will make a big difference to your next day.
