Sleep Hygiene

Written By Christopher Sanchez Lascurain

Science has linked poor slumber with a number of health problems, from weight gain to a weakened immune system. Getting less than 7 hours of sleep on a regular basis can eventually lead to health consequences that affect your entire body. If you want to try to improve your sleep hygiene here are 4 tips to follow: 1)Try to go outside and expose yourself to natural light every day. 2) A healthy diet will help you to sleep well. 3)Having a hot bath or warm shower 1-2 hours before bedtime can be useful, as it will raise your body temperature, causing you to feel sleepy as your body temperature drops again. 4) Try not to use your bed for anything other than sleeping and intimacy, so that your body comes to associate bed with sleep.

Hi, I'm Christopher Sanchez Lascurain, MSW, LCSW. I'm a somatic therapist trained in AEDP, and I work with empathic professionals who are stressed, anxious, or burned out and need more than just talk to feel better. We use grounding, breathwork, and body-based exercises alongside traditional talk therapy, because real change happens when the body and mind are both part of the work. My goal is simple: help you reconnect with your body, shift the patterns that aren't working anymore, and feel like yourself again.
