Check the forecast

Keep your cosy space ready

If you prefer to sleep on the bed, then make sure the bed is ready. It is made as per your liking. You can spray a few drop of essential oils or your favourite room freshener. If you prefer to hit a comfortable couch then put a few layers of blankets. Assemble your pillows and settle yourself in.

Have your distractions in hand

Stop thinking about the weather! Instead, try to remember what excited you the most recently. Was it an unfinished book that you have been delaying or a blank page from your journaling kit that you have been meaning to journal? Keep them in hand so that they can ease your mind as you prepare to sleep.  

Snacks distract

You can skip dinner and opt for a late meal that would fill your stomach and make you sleepy.

Keep the thunder away

Block all noise by locking the doors and windows. Draw the curtains over your windows for an extra layer of shielding.

Welcome these sounds instead

Play your favourite songs on the speaker or the earphone. Opt for the white noise music, which is highly in trend. Check out the lo-fi versions of your favourite songs. This blocks the noise of the thunder and instead your brain perceives soothing rhythms that act an sleep enhancers.

Get your comfort toy out of the bag

If you have a comfort squishie or stuff toy or even a favourite blanket that you sling on to while you are stressed, have them near you. Sometimes, having the presence of the object you like relieves you of tension.
