🌙 5 Simple Tips for Better Sleep Naturally

Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s repair, renewal, and the foundation of good health. But as we move through midlife, many of us notice sleep gets trickier. Hormonal shifts, stress, and even our daily habits can disrupt our natural rhythm, leaving us wide awake at 2 AM and exhausted the next morning.

The good news? You can train your body to sleep better—without pills or complicated routines. Here are 5 simple, natural tips to set yourself up for deeper, more restorative sleep every night.

1. Stop Eating 3–4 Hours Before Bed

Late-night snacking might feel comforting, but it keeps your body busy digesting instead of resting. Giving your system a break supports fat burning, improves digestion, and signals to your body that it’s time to wind down.

2. Turn Off Blue Screens Before Bed

TVs, phones, and tablets all emit blue light that disrupts melatonin—the hormone that helps us fall asleep. Instead of scrolling, try reading, journaling, or stretching in the evening. Your brain will thank you!

3. Get Evening Sunlight

Just 10–15 minutes outside in the evening sun can help reset your circadian rhythm. This natural light cue tells your body when to wind down and when to wake up, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

4. Plan Tomorrow, Tonight

Racing thoughts keep many of us awake. Writing down your to-do list and intentions for the next day clears mental clutter and gives your brain permission to rest. It’s like putting your worries on paper so they don’t follow you into bed.

5. Try My Sleepytime Magnesium Cocktail

Magnesium is known as the relaxation mineral for good reason—it helps calm your nervous system, ease muscle tension, and prepare your body for rest.

Here’s my favorite recipe:

• 8–12 oz warm water

• 1 tsp magnesium powder (glycinate or citrate)

• 1 tsp raw honey (optional for relaxation)

• A squeeze of lemon or tart cherry juice (for a natural melatonin boost)

Sip slowly before bed, and feel your body ease into relaxation.
