Hey Melanie, thanks for the comment. By far, the best way I’ve found to get 8+ hours a night is to make time for it. At home I really try to follow my “light’s out by midnight” policy and this means starting to wind down my day at 10:30pm. I am also a fan of the “power down hour” and find that it not only helps me tie up loose ends, but gets me in the right mindset for sleep. You can read more about the Power Down Hour here at our Sleep Info Center: http://bit.ly/47lODb. Feel free to let me know if this helps!
