Although I have some exciting interviews coming up, I am going solo today and want to talk about my sleep routine. Working on my sleep routine and trying to get a good amount of sleep was a struggle for a good twenty years or so, especially with trying to get to sleep in the first place and then staying asleep once I did get to sleep.


I, at first, thought that it was a lost cause, that it was a genetic problem that I couldn't resolve, but one thing that I realized over the last twenty years is that my difficulty sleeping had a lot more to do with habits and behavior than with genetics, so tune in as I share some tips with you on how to sleep better.


I encourage you to try mouth-taping, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blue light before bed, dim your lights at night, and more. If you tend to struggle with sleep at night, I hope that this episode is helpful for you. If so, then if you aren't subscribed to the show already, please be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast app! I would also really appreciate it if you would share the podcast with at least one other person you know who might also enjoy it and if you would leave me a five-star review! That really helps the show out!
