Hello friends. I am joining Joanne from Slices of Life for the monthly link-up Share Our Lives.
This month they are discussing Tips for Falling Asleep.
Here are some tips that work for me for falling asleep:
- I try to sleep at the same time every night unless I will be out late that evening.
- I try not to drink coffee or caffeine after 3:00 pm.
- I shower every night.
- I have a beauty routine I follow every night. I take off all of my makeup, wash my face, apply eye cream, and moisturize my face.
- I apply chapstick and hand cream every night.
- I listen to rain sounds or ocean waves which helps me fall asleep.
What tips do you have to fall asleep?
HERE ARE THE TOPICS FOR EACH MONTH:

Wonderful ideas. Sleep has definitely become harder in midlife. I have a nighttime ritual but it’s the darn staying asleep and getting up do often to pee, lol.
ReplyDeleteI apply chapstick and cream most nights too but especially in the winter.
ReplyDeleteJoanne, they are a must for me with my dry lips and skin. :)
DeleteYour routine and mine are almost the same. I think taking a shower at night helps for sleep. Have a great week. Happy Valentine's Day. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful Julie. I think most of us have a nighttime routine. It’s been difficult to sleep lately. They are adjusting my meds. I am missing my thyroid, so I am taking something to mimic it. We shall see.
ReplyDeleteI always apply a lip mask and hand cream. I wear a mouth guard so it doesn't feel right unless I have that in too. I've been using an eye mask lately and it really helps to keep the light out.
ReplyDeleteShowers at night always get me sleepy too!
ReplyDeleteThe nighttime shower/bath and routine really help me sleep.
ReplyDeleteNighttime showers are great in the winter. They make me warm and sleepy, too!!
ReplyDeleteI can't do bedtime showers.. then I have to dry my hair. It would just add a few extra steps to my bedtime routine.. I am already too exhausted by the time my day ends. I do love going through my skincare routine before bed though.
ReplyDeleteI always seem to fall asleep quicker when it is raining out and I can hear it, I think I need to start playing sounds of it every night when I am trying to sleep.
ReplyDeleteA shower, skincare, and PJs...the best way to wind down and prepare for bed. Thanks for joining our link up.
ReplyDeleteI think routine is very important, but I've tried all sorts and sometimes I just can't drop off to sleep no matter how tired I am.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, my friend who is in stress is unable to sleep for past few days shared this blog to him, he said It helped him to get sleep for 3 to 4 hours but still do pray for him thanks for this blog lots of love ARY BEE Global
ReplyDeleteI didn't mention my bedtime routine in my post, but I do think going through the same steps of washing my face, moisturizing, etc help my mind and body get into bedtime mode. Good tips! I'm a couple days behind, but here from SOL
ReplyDeleteGreat tips - I do many of the same things. Cleanse and moisturize my face, lip balm and hand cream...and I have a cup of warm milk with collagen - and usually have no issue with falling asleep. It's staying asleep that is my issue - I wake up around 3 AM...wide awake. I have been trying to read until I get sleepy again. Love it when I can sleep all through the night! Thanks for a great post!
ReplyDeleteI am a bath person and I absolutely have to have a bath every night, with low lights and a candle. I do apply lotion, cream for my face and lip balm.
ReplyDeleteI love this post and appreciate your ideas and those in the comments too. I bathe every evening, it's so relaxing. And I use all kinds of creams and lotions. Curel, Cerave, and Bath and body. I have a new lavender lotion that I love! Thanks for this post!
