You can’t overstate the value of a good night’s sleep. For years I’ve had the ability to fall asleep instantly, sleep soundly all night, and wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.
There are several intentional factors that contribute to my sound slumber:
1) I maintain consistent sleep patterns. I go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time
every morning.
2) I don’t oversleep. I’ve trained my body to run on about six and a half hours, so when it’s time to fall asleep, my body and mind are good and ready.
3) The last thing I do before I fall asleep (aside from kissing my wife goodnight) is read a book. I read until I find my eyes repeating the same sentence with little comprehension, then force myself to finish that paragraph, and immediately turn off my reading light. I typically only need to read a couple pages before my mind is ready for slumber.
4) I maintain good posture during my slumber by sleeping on my back. I also keep a thick memory foam pillow next to my bed for when I feel the need to sleep on my side. I tuck it between my knees and ankles to keep my hips supported and legs parallel, further contributing to good posture.
