the environment

hands down the BEST alarm clock! I used to hate waking up in the morning to my iPhone alarm and dreaded starting my day. I love the gentle sunrise alarm on this!! not only that, but I use this at bedtime to unwind and play relaxing sounds to help eas...
hatch alarm clock
a soft sleep mask is a game changer. this signals to my body that the lights are out and it's time to rest. I think this has played a huge part in me being able to fall asleep faster, as I reach for my phone less once it's on
silk sleep mask
I can not sleep without my heated blanket… my husband likes the bedroom to be frigid at night and this is how I survive 😅 but really, this helps me keep warm (which is so important if you have endo or are a woman etc)
heated blanket
a good pillow makes all the difference! I recently upgraded our pillows from old ones that were either too flat that I needed to layer them or too fluffy that they hurt my neck. this pillow is so comfortable and coop has an option for every sleeper
adjustable pillow
I could live in pajamas and lounge sets but sleeping in them is another thing entirely. this set from pact is comfy enough to sleep in and helps me romanticize my evenings and enter my sleep flow.

this fan is great of you are temperature sensitive (like me). a cool sleep environment is a key part of a good night's sleep

the wind-down ritual
Signal to your brain that it’s safe to slow down.
if you know me, you know that I drink so. much. tea. tea has so many benefits that I won't get into here. I love to end my day with a warm cup of chamomile tea – it contains an antioxidant called apigenin which binds to brain receptors that reduce an...<3

my evening skincare is very basic but so effective. I cleanse my skin with an oil cleanser, gel cleanser, or both (if I wore makeup that day). then I moisturize with this bare, unscented tallow balm. it hydrates my skin so well and is a great barrier... cold air of my bedroom

low-light reading >>> doom-scrolling 🤍 my kindle is a key part of my evening unwind routine. I love reading a few pages of my current read before sleeping, as it helps my brain shift from being on to preparing for rest.
kindle paper white
my journal helps me brain dump before bed as well as get down any prayers for the day. I am working on journaling more to help process emotions and my day
bedside journal
this helps support relaxation + muscle tension
