Were you aware that your gut microbiome has its very own internal clock? Believe it or not, every microbe does. Because of this, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that if you aren’t getting the kind of quality sleep your body needs, your gut microbes will experience the same inefficiencies.

Getting consistent high-quality sleep is key. It’s something that can be very difficult to do when you are dealing with a lot of stress. Ideally, you want to maintain consistency with your sleeping schedule. Try to ensure that it accurately reflects your natural internal clock. You want to wake up when the sun comes up and go to sleep when the sun goes down.

Here are some of the best things you can do so you can start to get better quality sleep: 

1. Prepare Your Bedroom

The first thing you need to do is ensure that your bedroom is prepped. You want to close all of your window shades and blinds to ensure the light is kept out. You also might want to open your windows if it gets hot or stuffy inside your room. 

2. Switch To Breathable Materials

4. Keep Your Room Dark
