I Need an Evening Routine to Fix My Sleep - REM, Relaxing Before Bed, Sleep Hygiene

This score of 79 is low for me, especially with REM and sleep efficiency.

I talk a lot about the importance of sleep on my blog and on my YouTube channel, IgnyteFit with Mary Daphne.

And I prioritize my sleep because it's extremely important for our health and fitness.

However, recently, I have not been getting enough sleep. This is odd because I practice good sleep hygiene practices and I also give myself enough sleep opportunity (Matthew Walker coined this term and I explain it in the video).

So you can only imagine my frustration.

I am targeting 8 hours of shut-eye a night, but have only been getting around 7 hours *sometimes 6 hours 45 min, sometimes 7 hours 21 minutes.

As someone who does not like routines, I have finally come to terms with the fact that I probably need to establish and practice a nightly bedtime routine and wind-down sequence, which I have not.

Do you have any wind-down sequences or bed-time sequences you like to do nightly?

This is an example of better sleep for me. High 80's to 90's Oura Ring sleep score is where I want to be.

What're your favorite ways to relax before bed? Share that with me and I'll include your nightly routine tips into part 2 of this video :)

I am going to make a separate video with the best sleep outcome based on various bedtime routines.

Share with me your favorite sleep routines, night routines, wind-down routines, and bedtime routines that you incorporate into your evening routines!

Get some good sleep tonight! 💤😴
