I’m a mother and business owner, I get it too. I sleep hack a lot and use a number of different techniques to get 7-9 hours of rest a day. I’m a sleep nerd..!! First and foremost I’ve become a master of time management and routine. I have things I do every day and I structure them around my work, training, eating and sleeping schedule. (Wait. That’s all I actually do .. hahaha) But seriously .. I try to anticipate change in schedule by planning my week in advance (weeks start on Sundays for me) so I know when all of the essential stuff, plus kid stuff, plus work stuff needs to happen. I also plan a day a week that is pure “slothing” - I force myself to chill. To help facilitate quality sleep, I set the tone prior to bedtime (30-60 minutes in advance) by turning my bedsheets down, (sometimes spraying essential oils on the linens), turning a low light on, cooling my room with a fan, and eliminating my phone 30-40 minutes before I go into my room. I also use melatonin sometimes, and take my “calming combo” - Gaba, Ashawagandha & Maca.
