How many of these tips have you not tried but plan to give them a try?
I really need this 😢 my sleep pattern is inconsistent and I need help
I hope these tips work for you 😘
Ugh as I’ve been awake since 3 am just waiting to go to work at 6. My sleep has been awful the last few months and I can’t figure out why! I’ll definitely watch this video this week on my day off!
Oh no! 😢
Thanks for being so wonderful, Chalene! You are 1 special Lady! 1 of the greatest hearts and souls ever! Will give things a try that You suggest. How do You spell Goddess? C-H-A-L-E-N-E
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same I’ve always done 4 hours and I feel my body no matter what wakes me up after FOUR hours. Go to bed at nine? Wide awake at 1! UGH!!!! Iim 52 and my boyfriend is 73, we are going to start working on this!!
Aww that’s awful! Hope these tips help!
As I’m watching your video (making coffee and getting ready for work) my Apple Watch just congratulated me for hitting my sleep goal the last 4 nights. Yay me 😂
Nice!!! Keep up the great work! 😘😘😘
I love watching your videos. Very educational stuff things I’ve known but sometimes forget.
Thank you 🙏🏼 God Bless ❤
So happy you love them! God bless you too sis!
Great tips! I have bad sleep habits that I can occasionally break. I sleep on the sofa with the tv on. I used to use a timer on the tv, but when it switches off I wake up. I don’t think it’s fair to my husband for him to endure the tv. Sometimes I can sleep with a sleep hypnosis routine on prime. I’m interested in some of the sleep aids that you mentioned. CBD? I have to watch again and check the transcript. I can’t go walk at 10am because I work 7-4:30 Mon-Thur and 7-11 on Fri. I do usually walk on my treadmill on breaks and lunch. About 40 minutes Mon-Thurs.
Really really great videos!
So glad you find it helpful! You can check the description box for the links. 😘
I’ve tried many to most of these tips, and the ONLY thing that worked for me was the sunlight trick. But, for me I needed way more than morning sunlight. I needed hours of sunlight. For decades I wore sunglasses from the moment that I walked outside and the sun was rarely penetrating my eyes. I rarely wear them now, and I easily sleep 8 hours every night.
Oh, that’s so smart, that you mentioned the sunglasses… I forgot! I’m going to pin this comment!
My problem is STAYING asleep. I wake up so much during the night. I have done magnesium, cbd, and melatonin for years too. You do have to be careful with melatonin though. Less is better because you can start to develop resistance to it and slowly need higher and higher doses. Docs say to take a break from it every now and then.
I swear, Chalene, you are a godsend! You’ve touched on yet another area of my life that needs attention and improvement: sleep!
I got a fitness tracking band (a Xiaomi band 8) recently, and I’ve been tracking my sleep for the past two weeks. I didn’t know how little (and how bad) I sleep. Moreover, I had no idea how bad lack of sleep is, until just now, hearing you talk about it. Thank you for all the tips! I’m willing to try them out (especially the free ones), preferably one by one, to see what their effects are on my sleep.
You absolutely rock! 💚💙💜
I do all of these except first morning sunlight. I’ve been working on getting in daily walks and grounding. My doctor strongly stresses grounding for sleep too. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!! love this
The blackout stickers and shade!!!!!!! Thank you!!! I’m constantly trying to position sheets over windows and washcloths over the microwave when we travel 😂😂😂
I know – Right?!?
I’m here to tell you – I cannot emphasize how so important sleep hygiene is- I have worked 3rd shift for over 10 years and no matter what I do to make sleep a “ thing” during the day, you suffer for it! All the things Chalene says is ALL TRUE 😢.
Anyone I know who works the shift I tell them to do everything in their power not to!!!
My doctor told me that they used to think that REM was the important part of sleep but they’re finding now that a certain stage of non-REM sleep is more important for the body.
I do a lot of these things and they definitely help. At this time the thing I just implemented that is a game changer is dabbing a little bit of castor oil under your eyes. It is a thing and man it works!!
I found thee best pink / black bonnet! It keeps my long hair smooth & it doubles as a mask! ( much easier than taping all the bright spots / which I have done before 😅
Do you remember where you got your pillows? You made a video about how you prop yourself up at night and those pillows all look so comfortable. I’ve been trying to make a fortress around myself at night like you did in that so I can learn to sleep on my back and my pillows are so hard.
Nevermind! I hadn’t watched all the way through yet when I commented. You answered my question. 😊
Well, that was filmed in a hotel room. But I do love the brand “my pillow” and they have different firmness.
I sleep well and fall asleep fast but my tracker always states I get very little deep sleep, only 10 minutes at times. I do all of above but I cannot find information anywhere on how to get more deep sleep.
My husband had the same issue and had to spend about six months trying to improve his deep sleep. Two things he thinks made a difference… Number one using peppermint oil under his nose and adding magnesium nightly.
Sleeping is like dying … without the commitment. -Steven Wright comedian 😂 Still makes me laugh bc it’s kinda true. 😅
