Create a wind-down routine before bed. 

Even outside of the current situation, maintaining a regular sleep and wake schedule is a key anchor for good sleep. One of the ways to help promote healthy sleep is protecting bed-sleep connection by creating a wind-down period for the hour or two before bed. One example of a wind-down activity is journaling. 

Schedule time in your day to worry. 

The worry and anxiety we feel during this period can have a negative impact on our sleep. Mitigate this worry by scheduling a dedicated worry time so that you can tell yourself “I already worried about that earlier” or “I have time at 11:00am tomorrow to worry about that.”
