Do you wake up irritated, angry, crying, not feeling rested or have difficulty concentrating during the day?

How is your quality of sleep?

Do you stay up late at night scrolling social media or watching TV even when your body and mind are tired and ready to rest?

If you do, give yourself grace and start a new healthy habit today of keeping a bedtime routine.

• Disconnect from technology one hour before bed and no electronics in the bedroom
• Set yourself up for success for the next day by preparing clothes, lunches and backpacks before bed
• Prepare your mind and body for rest
  • Read the Bible and a self-development book 
  • Take a hot bath
  • Stretch your body with yoga or pilates
  • Diffuse calming essential oils
  • Dim the lights
  • Clean sheets on the bed

3 Benefits of Sleep

1. Improve mood
   1. The National Institute of Health statistics show individuals who get an adequate amount of sleep each night exhibit fewer emotional outbursts, such as anger, and display fewer aggressive behaviors
2. Think more clearly, perform better at school and work, and complete more tasks on time
3. Improve the immune system for better health

God created the human body. Our bodies need energy from sleep to do the work God created us to do. 

Sleep management in the home can bless the household and all who enter and is a form of good stewardship.
