Try this: thirty minutes before you go to bed, place all gadgets outside the room, relax and wind down. Try listening to music, reading a book, lighting a candle or having a hot bath. Another great idea is to keep a journal. Journaling helps to overcome negative emotions, especially if the week has been stress-filled.

You can also consider sleep supplements (not sleeping pills) such as magnesium or herbal supplements such as chamomile. Good sleep hygiene and stress lowering tactics can significantly improve your quality of life. The benefits are huge, including more mental alertness and less stress and illnesses.

Externally speaking, getting your beauty sleep (at least 7-8 hours) does wonders for our skin and is the secret to looking and feeling great. Expect firmer cheeks, clearer skin, with less dark circles or under eye puffiness when you wake up in the morning.
