For example, maybe you both listen to soothing music or perform breathing exercise. Practicing muscle relaxation can help, as can meditation. If you do it with your loved one, they will feel more supported and encouraged to maintain these healthy bedtime routines.
“Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking, loving, and dreaming. At night everything is more intense, more true. The echo of words that have been spoken during the day takes on a new and deeper meaning.”
It turns out that gratitude is the ultimate in positive thinking, so try keeping a journal where you write down all the things you loved about your day and feel grateful for. Doing this right before bed will trigger your brain to think happy thoughts and encourage you to drift off without lingering worries.
Go to bed and wake up at around the same time, even on weekends. Consider changing your bedtime cue – set an alarm, write in a journal, do breathwork and mindfulness activities – to break out of the old routine.
Wishing you a wonderful night's sleep. Before I fall asleep, I think about how you make life so much more meaningful and how lucky I am to have you. Hope to see you in my dreams. “I just want to say, good night, sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”
Sleep is the best meditation. As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.
Here are some quotes from some of the literature's sagest voices to help inspire a good night's sleep: "I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only.I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.”“Finish every day and be done with it.
I am healthy and strong. I am confident in my abilities and trust in my journey. I am excited about the possibilities that tomorrow brings. I am at peace and allow my mind and body to relax and rejuvenate for a restful night's sleep.
Sleep is the best meditation. As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.
