I have an uncommon form of insomnia called chronic insomnia which means I struggle to sleep more than 3 nights a week basically every week. Sometimes that means no sleep at all! I have dealt with chronic insomnia for over 6 years now and wanted to share the items that have helped aid me through the years. These are the top of the top, and really help.

Because sometimes your body just needs a supportive squeeze — like a weighted hug for your blood vessels.
Compression gear can help with things like POTS, circulation, or even just feeling more “held together” when your nervous system is acting feral. BUT, not everyone vibes with compression (and in some cases it’s not safe — so always check with your doc before you go full sausage-casing chic).
On this list, you’ll find:
👖 Compression shorts, leggings, socks & sleeves
🛋 Alternatives for folks who can’t do compression but still need grounding (weighted blankets, cooling wraps, and other sneaky helpers)
🌀 Options that support without overstimulating your nervous system
Compression = one tool in the survival kit, not the whole toolbox. 🥰
Implementing these things into my bed & night routine has helped me immensely as someone who used to take FOREVER to fall asleep & would toss & turn all night.

After turning 40, I started noticing that my body wasn’t quite the same anymore. It became clear that I needed to give myself a little extra TLC. So, I made a series of intentional upgrades to my daily routine that have made a world of difference. These changes have helped everything run a bit smoother, reduced discomfort, and made life overall more enjoyable. From self-care practices to small lifestyle adjustments, these upgrades have been key in feeling better and taking care of myself as I move forward into this new phase.
