Sleep Hygiene

Our second daily suggestion is : Wake Up at a Consistent Time.

Waking up at a consistent time can be a game-changer in early recovery. Developing a consistent morning routine is essential for building structure and stability, which are crucial for achieving and maintaining a sense of wellness. When you’re in the early stages of recovery, the days can be unpredictable and filled with a mix of emotions. Establishing a morning routine can provide a sense of stability and control over your day.

Research has shown that consistent sleep patterns can improve mood and reduce the risk of relapse. When you wake up at the same time every day, you set your body’s internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up naturally. This is especially important for people in recovery, as sleep disturbance is a common symptom during withdrawal and early sobriety. By establishing a consistent wake-up time, you can improve the quality and duration of your sleep, which in turn can improve your overall health and well-being.

In addition to improving sleep patterns, waking up at a consistent time can also help establish a sense of purpose and direction in your life. When you wake up with a specific goal in mind, such as reading, exercising, meditating, or journaling, you’re setting the tone for a productive and fulfilling day. A consistent morning routine can also help you stay focused on your recovery goals by providing structure and routine to your day.

We are always working with folks to establish healthy habits and routines that support the recovery journey. Waking up at a consistent time is just one of the many strategies we recommend to help build structure and stability in your life.

Sleep As A Marker of

Mental Health

Getting a good night’s sleep is crucial to maintaining good mental health. When people experience imbalances in their mental health, such as anxiety, depression, anhedonia, and a lack of motivation, they often struggle to maintain a healthy sleep schedule. Sleep is essential to the functioning of the brain, and when it’s disrupted, it can affect the levels of neurotransmitters and stress hormones, leading to emotional regulation difficulties and impaired cognitive abilities.

While researchers are still working to uncover all the intricacies of sleep and its relationship to mental health, it’s clear that insomnia can worsen the symptoms of psychiatric and emotional disorders, and vice versa. If you’re struggling with mental health issues, it’s important to prioritize getting enough sleep. By taking care of your sleep needs, you may be able to improve your overall mental wellbeing and reduce the impact of your symptoms.

“There is a time for many words, there is also a time for sleep.

Avoid hitting snooze.

Benefits of a Fixed Wake Up time

Starting your day off on the right foot is crucial to setting the tone for the rest of your day. One often overlooked but important habit to form is resisting the urge to snooze your alarm. It may seem like a small thing, but hitting the snooze button repeatedly can have a negative impact on your day.

Not only does snoozing conflict with the recommendation of waking up at the same time each morning, but it also sets you up for failure. If you intend to wake up at a specific time and repeatedly hit the snooze button, you are starting your day with a sense of defeat rather than accomplishment.

We understand the importance of starting your day on the right foot, and our programs often emphasize tracking your sleep so that you and your coach can make adjustments accordingly. By developing healthy habits like waking up at the same time each day and resisting the snooze button, you can set yourself up for success and make the most out of each day. Our program is designed to help you achieve your goals and improve your overall wellbeing, one step at a time.
