I cannot stress enough the importance of sleep, especially as a parent. Sleep is essential for overall health and well-being. In my household, we try to be vigilant about things that may affect our sleep quality, such as diet, screen time, light, etc. We have a set bedtime even on the weekends (mainly for the children), we don't allow TVs in bedrooms (just the living room), we don't do any screen time at least an hour before bed, no bright lights, and we create a good sleeping environment. Here are some things you can add into your home/routine:
Kits make a great gift when you customize it for the recipient. An activity kit for a toddler mom, a call kit for a doctor, or a coffee kit for the caffeine addict on the go. You can make a kit for anyone and customize it just for them, but these are some kits I've made for friends and family that they've loved.

PLEASE READ: Everything in this list is not to be taken as medical advice. I am simply showing what things have helped me with my LC symptoms. If you come across something that you think might help, please speak with a licensed medical professional about it. That being said, I'll share a little bit of my history. My post-COVID issues started in January 2021. Today (as of June 2024), I'm about 90% recovered. The symptoms that I still have are mild fatigue and slight sensitivity to touching certain things. I had a lot of other symptoms (chest pain, SOB, air hunger, heart palpitations, etc.) in the past that eventually resolved on their own, so in this list, I will share some things that I did to help with certain issues. I've had little success with traditional western medicine and had a good amount of relief with integrative/functional/eastern medicine. You may notice that some of the things in this list seem rather “woo woo” or full of quackery, but I implore you to keep an open mind. I was once in that resistant mindset until I gave these things a try.

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.
