Communicate your nightly unavailability
Let your clients, customers, employees, family, and
friends know what your available hours are and that you do not
respond to emails or phone calls at night unless it is an emer-
gency. Most people will respect your boundaries.
Write out a to do list
Most entrepreneurs have a to do list running through our
head when we go to bed. We make a mental to do list, then
worry about what we have or will forget to do. This can be re-
lieved by taking time to write out a to do list prior to going to
bed. This will ease some anxiety about forgetting something
important.
Get active before bed
According to sleep.org ‘As little as 10 minutes of aerobic
exercise, such as walking or cycling, can dramatically improve
the quality of your nighttime sleep, especially when done on a
regular basis. ’ So get moving!
Eliminate distractions
Many things can distract you from a good nights sleep. It is
important that we locate and eliminate these distractions dur-
ing sleep hours to increase sleep success. Here are a few steps
we can take to remove distractions:
• Put away Phones &/or other devices.
• Turn off TV &/or Radio.
• Where comfortable clothing.
• Calm children &/or pets down
an hour before bedtime.
