We all know this: Turning your mind off is a challenge when you’re
stressed or anxious. Our mind is still swirling around a thousand things.
We really want to, but sometimes we just can’t stop it from spinning,
right?! And that means less sleep for us. But a good night’s (beauty)
sleep is essential!

hours of sleep a night for adults. To hit this goal, a nightly routine helps
you relax, fall asleep more easily and be better prepared for the next
day. And it’s not as hard to do as you might think. Going to bed around
the same time each night helps your body establish a sleep rhythm, so
that your slumber is more restorative. If you stick to the same pattern
each night, your body will grow accustomed to it.

the numbers. The bad news: Watching the numbers ticking away while
lying in bed, is so bad for you! It’s growing increasingly more anxious as

around your alarm clock. If you can’t see the time, you’ll have a smoother
