Sleep and I had a very long, very dysfunctional relationship. For more than 35 years, falling asleep meant lying in bed for hours while my brain enthusiastically replayed every awkward moment of my life, and nighttime anxiety was a regular visitor. Mornings felt like waking up after being hit by a truck. I was deeply suspicious of anyone who claimed to be a “morning person.” It seemed unlikely they were telling the truth. A few years ago I made optimizing my sleep a hobby. The result is this list, with all the supports I’ve tested and maintained to make sleep easier: none of it is magic, but together they turn bedtime from a nightly battle into something that actually resembles rest. 😴

If you have chronic illness you know exactly what a “spoonie” is. If you are reading this & wondering what the heck is a “spoonie”? I don't blame you, I didn't either… until I became one. (But don't go anywhere this list is for you too because it's a Self Care list for anyone.) “Spoons” are how people with chronic illness rate their energy levels from day to day. Everyone- chronically ill, or not- has a set number of spoons to get through the day. Let's say 20. Every task you do uses energy, aka spoons. Sometimes getting out of bed, changing your clothes, & brushing your teeth may take 5 spoons, other days might be 2, we never know from day to day how much simple tasks will take from us. When we run out of spoons we quite literally crash. This is where & when learning & knowing about Self Care is important. Self Care, also allows you to take care of those around you. You are not lazy or selfish. You are surviving.
