For years, I was running on empty. I drank caffeine, wine, and other drinks that were not great for me (hello, Starbucks). It all came to a head a few years ago.
I stopped sleeping. I could only sleep about 2 hours a night. My insomnia was like nothing I had ever experienced. After months of only getting 2 hours of sleep a night, seeing doctor after doctor (and declining all of their prescriptions, I started to study herbs. I spent months blending herbs, flowers, and plants, and ultimately developed my own tea blend to help me sleep.
Create a calming ritual
If you’re running on empty, too, it’s time to create calming rituals to help you both rest and sleep better. I was the multi-tasker, the overachiever, the “I can sleep when I’m dead” employee, trying to balance it all. But now I know there was no balance, just me trying to keep all of the plates in the air at the same time.
Creating a relaxing environment and soothing habits is important. Not only are you relaxing your body, but you’re getting in the habit of resting. It can be difficult to adjust to resting, especially if it’s something you aren’t used to.
