2026 is my year I really want to focus or recovery and improving my sleep. I often feel restless and anxious while laying in bed awake for hours. So something drastically had to change, besides trying to go to bed and getting off my phone earlier, I also implemented the following things in my “bed time routine”.
VALERIAN & MAGNESIUM
Both valerian and magnesium are popular natural sleep aids and they work great together so I had to give it a try. Valerian helps to calm the mind, magnesium to relax the body. Together they can improve sleep onset plus depth, reduce anxiety and physical tension.

BLUE LIGHT GLASSES
Blue light glasses really help if you use screens after sunset. The glasses can reduce sleep delay and improve sleep quality. The orange tinted lenses are best for sleep because they block the most blue light.

OMEGA-3
Omega-3 supports the biology behind good sleep on long-term because it supports the melatonin production, calms the brain, reduces anxiety, inflammation and supports a balanced heart rate and nervous system.

ACUPRESSURE MAT
An acupressure mat helps sleep by relaxing both your body and nervous system at the same time, reducing stress, easing tension, and preparing you for deeper rest.

RECOVERY PILLOW
A recovery pillow is about keeping your neck and spine in the right position all night, which has a big impact on sleep quality. So keeps your spine aligned, muscles relaxed and breathing unobstructed.
