Your best tips to fall asleep? (For parents)

Tips & Tricks

Hello! Today I am writing a post about parents sleep and not baby sleep 😄 I really need to know how people do to fall back asleep quickly after a wake. My daughter is not sleeping through the night so I am waking up to feed her or change her diaper and then it takes me forever to fall back asleep. This morning, I woke up at 2 and was impossible to fall back asleep, I tried till 4 am staying in the dark eyes closed but then decided to stand up and start my day. Note that we are doing shifts with my husband and I went to bed at 8 pm last night so it is not catastrophic but I would have enjoyed 2 or 3 extra hours as baby was sleeping all the way from 1 to 5 am 🥲 Also, I can’t nap. I have tried many times but I just can’t. My brain won’t stop and give me a break during daytime. Except if I am above exhausted.

Any tips or recommendations to fall asleep quicker? 🙏
