The Importance of Sleep and a Bedtime Routine

Getting sufficient sleep is crucial for overall well-being. Research suggests that 95% of the population needs between 7 to 9 hours of sleep. However, factors such as sleep debt, genetic makeup, and physiological state can influence individual sleep needs. Implementing a signature bedtime routine can greatly improve sleep quality. The routine includes blocking out blue light, diffusing lavender, setting a good night phone alarm, having a shower or bath, taking a magnesium supplement, meditating or reading, and using an eye mask. Following this routine consistently for seven days can lead to better sleep and waking up feeling refreshed.
