✒ Self-Care Hacks ✒

Magical time where we can shut off the world and drift away into a land of dreams. But what happens when that land of dreams turns into a land of tossing and turning? Well, fear not my sleep-deprived friends, for I have some self-care hacks that will have you snoozing like a baby.

First up, sleep masks. Now, I know what you're thinking - isn't that just for fancy people on long-haul flights? But hear me out. A study published in the Journal of Sleep Research found that sleep masks improve sleep quality and reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep. Plus, you get to pretend you're a superhero with a secret identity, which is just plain fun.

Next on the list - ear plugs. I know, I know, the thought of sticking things in your ears might seem uncomfortable. But think about it - if you live in a noisy environment, or your partner snores like a chainsaw, ear plugs could be a game changer. A study published in the International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics found that wearing ear plugs improved sleep quality and reduced daytime sleepiness. Plus, you get to feel like you're in your own little bubble of silence.

Last but not least, weighted blankets. These babies are all the rage these days, and for good reason. A study published in the Journal of Sleep Medicine & Disorders found that weighted blankets reduce anxiety and promote deeper sleep. Plus, they're like a big cozy hug - who doesn't want that?

So there you have it, folks. Sleep masks, ear plugs, and weighted blankets - the holy trinity of self-care sleep hacks. Give them a try and see if they make a difference in your sleep quality. And if anyone judges you for wearing a sleep mask or sticking ear plugs in your ears, just tell them you're a sleep superhero. Trust me, it'll catch on.
