Wanna Sleep better??

...then put your cell phone down way before bedtime.  seriously.  Cut off Social media scrolling by 8pm.  Turn off your computer and turn off the tv at least 30 min to an hour before you want to go to bed.  Try to go to bed at the same time every night so your body starts to learn it's time to go to sleep.  Try to wake up at the same time every morning.  Your mind and body like routine.   Tips for sleeping better: 1.
