<p><inline-mention username="Peter Tapao" user-id="2030058"/> I agree 100%! I feel like the hard lesson I was meant to learn in my life is that good health is something that we work on every single day, rather than something we just focus on when things get bad. I say this after nearly a lifetime of skipping breakfast, which is the most important meal of the day! Another focus is the movement you get for your body within the day to help out your lymphatic system, and another one of the basics is quality sleep! Something that I’ve struggled with for so long(and still now from time to time). I’d love to hear more about the benefits of a weighted blanket- I heard that it’s like receiving a hug! But as for me, I agree with and also use the sleeping sounds/music. I just search them up and keep them in a folder on YouTube. Just type in anything on the search bar and it’ll pop up on YouTube, from ‘sleep music’ to ‘Tibetan healing sounds’ you can’t go wrong.Just go with what suits you best- be it sound bowls or nature sounds or piano music. I used to use benedryl all the time to help ease my itchiness and make me drowsy, but after finding out how bad it was for the body, I stopped for years, and now, if I’m not able to get to sleep naturally, then I use a chocolate edible to help me sleep. And I actually love using it because it really knocks me out for hours(so that I’m getting deep, solid, quality sleep) rather than me waking up intermittently throughout the night/morning every few hours. I also recommend shutting off all the lights in your sleep environment and hopefully doing your best to stay off your phone. Definitely easier said than done! Anyways thanks for this Peter and very cool that you have the Oura ring keeping track of your sleep quality. Btw healthline recently posted about how sleeping in the nude brings you a higher quality of sleep. I also practice this and definitely agree as most if not all clothing just irritates my sensitive skin! But the scary part is that it’s not just the material but the dye in your clothing that just might be causing you more harm than you realize. Good luck everyone, whatever it is you choose to incorporate into your sleeping routine. Just make sure to make one! – Linette Roungchun(atopicdermatitis.net moderator)</p>
