Are you accustomed to your sleeping habits these days? Stay strong, you are fully equipped with coping strategies to fight against sleep disturbances now.
How you may be feeling
You used to be tired and drained😫 all the time. All those restless nights filled up with anxiety and worries now have been the past.😴 A brighter future is knocking on your door as your hormone levels are rising more slowly, you might have more energy in the morning and more sweet dreams at night. Morning sickness has also passed, too. You can feel peaceful now.😃
How to establish good sleeping habits
During the entire pregnancy journey, probably the second trimester is the best time for you to have high quality sleep🛌🏾 and establish a good sleeping habit. Unlike the first trimester, your body is getting used to all changes and everything seems more stable.😃
Make the switch to side sleeping if you haven’t already. Set a sleep routine and implement things that you should do before sleep such as going to the bathroom🚻, drinking a cup of warm milk🥛, or putting your phone away. All these good deeds will be paid off in the months ahead.
Exercise can help
This is the golden opportunity for you to start exercising🏃 regularly. Your body is not as tired as it was in the first trimester. You can start gentle exercises to boost your mental and physical health.🤗
When you stay active and use up energy, you will also fall asleep better at night. Exercises too close to bedtime can backfire as they energize you up, so it’s better to exercise in the morning and start a new day.🙆♀️
