Every morning, I wake up at 4am to start my day. It’s essential that I take those first few hours of quiet for myself before the rest of the house wakes up. It’s the calm before the storm, so to speak.
As a lot of us already know, working from home has many challenges and distractions… kids popping in my office for their usual questions about how many moons Uranus has, snack demands every 15 minutes and then there’s the tattling on big sister/little brother saga that never ends… I’m able to accomplish more in those first few early morning hours than I am in the other eight hours of the day combined!
And it’s no surprise that everyone in the house benefits from sleep. Much like most households across the world, if your kid has a rough night sleeping, it throws off the whole family dynamic for that entire day. This is why we don’t mess with the bedtime routine.
If we are invited to a friends house or an event that includes our kids AND it starts after 5pm, chances are high that we won’t go. Because the theory of keeping our kids up later does not result in them sleeping in later… nope, they still wake up early and the only glaring difference is that they’re cranky and miserable ALL day.
This is my family when we all get a good night’s sleep…
This is my family when we don’t…
Enter Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor.
Ever since I started using this monitor, my daily sleep habits have improved. Even though I’m always up at 4am, I don’t always go to sleep at the same time each night. This is something I have been trying to manage for months.
The Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor offers personalized, easy-to-implement insights to help me make the most of my time asleep which has helped me figure out the right time to go to bed. And unlike wearables that I always forget to put on anyways, the Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor is completely non-invasive and plugs directly into a wall outlet.
Thanks to the Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor helping improve my sleep, I’m more energized than ever during the day. My 2 year old is always at my side, and I have the energy to keep up with her all day long.
By implementing the sleep change to my routine, I find myself waking up ready to seize the day!
