9 Sleep Hacks for Tired Moms
Postpartum Insomnia
What would it feel like to be able to fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up rested?
In this post, we’re going to discuss the tried and true remedies to help you wake up rested. Especially if you’re experiencing insomnia.
#1. Protein for breakfast
I work with moms who are struggling with anxiety and heart palpitations, and this is the #1 tip to start healing. The protein helps balance your blood sugar and reduce cortisol spikes in the morning. Start your day with eggs, shake with peanut butter, or even dinner for breakfast
#2. Reduce your coffee
I’d like to say eliminate it, but I know you’re probably really relying on it!
Follow these rules with coffee…
Add 1 tsp. Use coconut oil to help balance the adrenal depletion
Have your coffee before noon
And replace your 2nd or 3rd cup with the one daily tea blend or tulsi and green tea
I’m telling you, this is a game-changer.
#3. They say, “Sleep when your baby sleeps”.
But, if you’re running on fumes, you’ll notice you can’t sleep…
So instead, practice nervous system regulation exercises to calm your nervous system.
Plus, practice your nervous system exercises so your body knows how to sleep again.
#4. Add a Noise Machine
A noise machine can help drown out other noises that may be waking you up.
#5. Take homeopathy to help you sleep

#6. Veggie and protein lunch -Carbs at night
Carbs may be slowing you down.I don’t want you to avoid them all altogether, just save them for the evening.
#7. Yoga Nidra
#8. Place your phone in Airplane mode
To protect your circadian rhythms. Refrain from electronic use for two hours before heading off to bed,
By shutting off your phone's data, you're stopping it from emitting and receiving any radio emissions, which are technically (very, very) low levels of EMF.
#9. Journaling
Studies have also shown that journaling can reduce the frequency of intrusive, depressive thoughts- plus if you find you have circular thinking.. this is one sign of trauma.
Additionally, if you write down just 3 things you need to do today, this can help you stay more focused and feel accomplished with just 2 hrs of sleep
