Today’s Sleep Tibbit
Melatonin is a hormone that promotes deep sleep.
To help you fall asleep more easily, turn down the lights beginning no later than 9PM. Read or do other activities that don’t require bright light by candle light.

Melatonin has been found to protect against estrogen related cancers.
Dr. Ritamarie’s Appreciations for Today
- I appreciate the lovely spring weather that began on Sunday, after three days of rain to fill the reservoir.
- I appreciate my amazing team that support me in getting my message of health and healing out to the world.
I appreciate my glucose meter, which has guided me to identify how my bad sleep habits have effected me and helps me to choose the foods and activities that keep me in balance
My Sleep Commitments for Tomorrow:
- In bed, lights out by midnight
- No food after 8 PM
I’ll keep trying til I get it right then increase the challenge
