Glad you got good sleep! I got really good sleep last night as well. 8 1/2 hours according to my smart watch. Woke up feeling good.
I’ve been trying to improve my sleep hygiene as well. Putting my phone away a couple hours before bed and just using my kindle to read before bed. Sometimes a shower before bed helps me as well. Meditation is good too and journaling. I like to journal before bed. I have two separate journals. One is a gratitude journal I write everything I’m grateful for daily. Could be little stuff like a good cup of coffee or big stuff. Anything really. I do that every day, go through my days mentally and catalog all the good stuff. And then my regular journal that I just write in like a typical journal where I write about my mood, my day, my plans etc
