Having trouble getting to sleep? It's a common issue, but establishing a 'sleep commute' could help! For a more restful night of sleep, try building a consistent transition from wakefulness to sleep into your schedule—a designated time when you can shift gears from being productive and 'on' to getting ready for rest. That means turning electronics off and staying away from screens. Instead, try something where you can let your mind wander, such as reading, stretching, or knitting. Stay tuned to our social media channels for more actionable tips on how to manage stress and feel your best this #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth.
