  • "My body knows how to heal."
  • "I am safe, I am heavy, and I am drifting."
  • "I am drifting into restorative sleep."
3 Daily Caring Tips for Better SleepAnchor your melatonin production and optimize your environment with these three steps:
  1. Morning Sunlight: Get 10 minutes of natural light before your day starts to anchor your night-time sleep cycle.
  2. The 18°C Rule: Keep your room at 18°C (64°F); a cool core temperature is a physical requirement for quality REM sleep.
  3. The Worry Dump: If your mind is looping, write your thoughts on paper so your brain doesn't have to "load" them while you sleep.
