Turns out there are about as many opinions on whether you should or should not eat before bed as there are kinds of mattresses out there. Just like anything with the human body, it is all bio-individual. However, I can provide some tips on what foods may negatively or positively impact your sleep. You will still need to listen to your own body and find what works for you.

The following foods may negatively impact your sleep:
- Spicy Foods & Acidic Foods – Can cause heartburn
- Cruciferous Vegetables – slowly digesting insoluble fiber
- Red Meat – high protein – low enzymes
- Cured Meats and Cheeses – amino acid tyramine – causes alertness
- Chocolate – contains caffeine
- Sugary drinks, juices and foods – can cause stimulation
- Liquids – interrupt sleep with need to go to bathroom

These foods may improve your sleep if you eat at dinner or as a SMALL snack about an hour before bed:
- Foods high in tryptophan – amino acid precursor to serotonin.
- Small amounts of the right carbohydrates to help the body assimilate the tryptophan.
- Foods high in calcium and/ or magnesium.
- Try honey as a sweetener if necessary as it helps decrease alertness.
- Foods containing natural melatonin – tart cherries, goji berries and raspberries.

Let me know your food secret to sleeping well!

A good morning starts the night before! Having good evening habits around going to bed at the same time, limiting technology and watching what you eat before bed can all help you sleep better and wake up more rested.

Here are a few more tips for setting the tone of your day, try a few on to see how they fit with your lifestyle. Like going to bed, try to get up the same time each day, even on your weekends. (I know I don't always do the best with this one myself.) Also don't hit that snooze if you can help it. But before you even get out of bed you can start the day on a positive note by doing a gratitude exercise, doing deep breathing exercises, and setting your intention to have a productive, patient, creative, happy, "fill-in-the-blank" kind of day. Remind yourself that every day can be your favorite holiday as far as the anticipation and enjoyment is concerned. I think of my brother as a little boy on Christmas mornings to fill myself with that childlike wonder of the day.

Once you get out of bed, drinking a glass of water and getting some morning sunlight are also great morning routines to work into your day. Try to stay away from email, news, and work for an hour or so to allow yourself some time to do something more enjoyable. All of these ideas and more in the video help you take control of your day in a positive way. We cannot control how the day will go overall, but a good morning habit can help with our stress management and overall resilience.

What are your favorite morning rituals to have a great day?
