My Evening Routine for Better Sleep

Late nights were my only quiet time. Changing my evenings changed my mornings.

Number 7 is the one most people miss. It works best on top of the others, so don't skip ahead.

Here’s what helps me

✿
  1. 1

    Close the kitchen at 7pm

    Late eating can keep your stomach busy all night.

    How to: Finish dinner by 7 and brush your teeth right after.

  2. 2

    Take a short walk after dinner

    It helps digestion and winds you down.

    How to: 10 minutes, slow and easy.

  3. 3

    Dim the lights

    Bright light tells your body it is still daytime.

    How to: Switch to lamps an hour before bed.

  4. 4

    Sip a calming tea

    A warm cup is my signal that the day is over.

    How to: Chamomile or peppermint, about an hour before bed.

  5. 5

    Put the phone away

    Scrolling keeps your mind racing.

    How to: Charge it outside the bedroom.

  6. 6

    Same bedtime every night

    Your body loves a rhythm.

    How to: Pick a time and keep it, weekends too.

  7. 7

    The one most people miss

    A calm stomach at night helps me sleep, and what keeps my stomach calm is one little capsule I take every morning.

    Here’s why: lots of probiotics die in stomach acid before they ever reach the gut. Mine comes in a delayed release capsule made to get through the stomach, with 10 strains and a prebiotic to feed them.

Quick questions

How long until I feel a difference?

For me, my stomach felt calmer over the first week or two, and by a month it was just my normal. Everyone is different, so give it a full 30 days.

Is it hard to take?

No. One capsule a day, with or without food. No powder to mix and no taste. I take mine with my morning water.

Is it worth the money?

I thought it would be pricey, but it’s usually $24.97, goes on sale a lot, and it’s $17.49 right now. That’s about 58 cents a day, less than a cup of coffee.

Can I take it with the rest of my routine?

Yes, I take it alongside everything on this page. Simple is the point: one capsule, then I get on with my day. If you take medication, read the label and ask before you start.
