Dear friend,
Does a good night's sleep seem to escape you? If yes, you're not alone. But you're missing out on one of nature's most restorative and healing tools. It can be easy to lament the fact that you're not sleeping well, but what are you doing to change things up?
If nothing changes, results are likely to stay the same, right? In addition to good sleep habits (relaxing and winding down before bed; avoiding bright screen time before sleep, darkening your bedroom, etc.), another option is to increase your activity. And, some are better than others!
Check out the research based tips below.
WHAT ARE THE BEST EXERCISES FOR A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP?
Are you craving a really good night’s sleep? With days growing longer, you can take advantage of some outdoor time and improve your sleep. Sleep researchers have identified the best exercises to help you sleep better. Good quality and quantity sleep is essential to a strong immune system and good health and while all physical activity helps sleep, some are better than others.
Move your way to better sleep.
“Although previous research has shown that lack of exercise is associated with poor sleep, the results of this study were surprising,” says lead investigator Michael A. Grandner, PhD, director of the Sleep & Health Research Program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.
I believe you can optimize your health and life with a combination of knowledge, action and belief. You are powerful.

As summer approaches, one of my favorite weekend activities is gardening. I get my fingers in the dirt, trim plants, pull weeds, talk to trees (yes, I admit it) and enjoy the fun of being outside. I 'balcony garden' too.
How about you, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]? Are you tending to your garden? How about fresh herbs for your teapot?
Sleep well and be well.
Don't Worry, Tea Happy!
