It seems that moms, whether new or well-seasoned, struggle with getting enough sleep. And once we do get to sleep, there are some reasons to doubt the quality of that sleep. It turns out that that you might not be setting up the right environment for sleeping. Joel Falconer at Lifehack points out 5 simple things you can do tonite to improve the quality of your sleep:

Get Up Earlier
That’s right, you slacker: if you want to get to bed earlier and easier, set your alarm for 5am and haul yourself out of bed the second you hear it go off.

The catch is that for this to work, you’ve got to muster all the self-discipline you’ve got and not only get up as soon as that alarm goes off, but get up as soon as that alarm goes off every single morning. No matter what. Even if you only had an hour of sleep the night before.

Try going for four or five days on two hours of sleep and then try to tell me you haven’t felt sleepy and ready for bed earlier than usual. This is the best way to reset your sleep schedule.

But boy, does it require some self-discipline—more than some people have got.
