SLEEP HYGIENE WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM JAPAN

The idea of a good sleep is based on the premise that your body can rest best when it feels safe.

Here are a few suggestions:

Ofuro (hot bath) T-1.5 hours

Yoruno Sanpo (10-20 minute walk after dinner)

Yomu Jikan (Read a physical book) even 6 minutes reduces stress significantly

Kansha (gratitude)

Early dinner T-3 hours

Spend the evening preparing for bed

Dim light T-2 hours

Digital sunset T-1 hour

Music

Tea

To put it all together, for a 10:30 pm bedtime:

Finish eating by 7:30

Go for a slow walk afterwards, focusing on the things you are grateful for from the day.

Set alarms and get ready for the next day. 

Play calm music and turn down light, and silence alarms, at least by 9:30

Have a bath and/or have a tea

Read for at least a few minutes, even in bed.
