WIDE AWAKE AT
3AM AGAIN?
Hey beautiful! 🌙
Pop quiz: What's the one thing you do for 8 hours a day that could literally add a decade to your life? If you said "scroll TikTok," we need to talk.
The tea: Scientists just dropped some wild research showing that people with optimized sleep live 7-10 years longer. Meanwhile, 70% of us are out here treating sleep like it's optional.
Here's the thing...
Your brain has a literal cleaning crew that only works the night shift. Miss out on quality sleep? That's like skipping trash day for your neurons. Gross.
So, you know that moment when you're staring at the ceiling at 2:47 AM, mentally organizing your entire life while your body screams for rest? We've all been there, and honestly, it's exhausting.
Here's What's Really Going Down: Your sleep isn't just "off"—it's sabotaging your hormones, your weight, and your sanity. 3 out of 4 women deal with sleep chaos, but most are flying blind on solutions.
That’s why you have us (wink)
There’s a SCIENCE to GOOD SLEEP
7 Game-Changing Sleep Strategies
#1 THE SUNRISE HACK
Morning sun = evening zen Get 10-30 minutes of sunlight BEFORE your first coffee. It's like setting an internal alarm clock that actually works.
THE MOVE → Step outside within 60 minutes of waking up. Soak up 10-30 minutes of natural light (cloudy days count too!). Skip the shades—your brain needs that direct signal to reset your rhythm.
#2 THE ICE PALACE
COLD, HARD FACTS: Turn your bedroom into a meat locker - 65-68°F is the sweet spot. Your body needs to cool down to power down. Science, not suggestions.
#3 THE POWER DUO SUPPLEMENTS
The issue: Stress hormones are throwing a rave when you need peace.
MAGNESIUM acts like a reset button for your nervous system. Be sure to pick the right one. There are SEVERAL types of magnesium - and they do different things.
ASHWAGANDHA tackles stress at the source and keeps your metabolism humming.
If you’ve read our previous newsletters, you’re probably seeing a pattern here. lol
The supplement stack that slaps Magnesium glycinate (400mg) + glycine (2-3g) + ashwaganda 650mg = your new bedtime besties. Think of it as a chill pill, but make it natural.
#4 The Right Outfit - DRESS FOR COOL/COMFORT
For this part, I’m handing it over to the newest addition to the team…
Lacey, our Beauty & Style Editor
Hey, it's Lacey — your Beauty & Style Editor here
Okay so… now that Jacqueline has us rethinking everything about our sleep habits (same), I need to jump in with a very important reminder:
Looking cute at bedtime is not just for TikTok teens.
You’re grown, you’ve got great taste, and you deserve pajamas that feel like a glass of wine and a skincare routine had a baby.
So here’s my official Hot Girl Sleepwear Edit — handpicked for us 30+ girls who want to feel put together even when we’re unconscious. These are breathable, luxe-feeling, and yes, Zoom-walk-to-the-mailbox-appropriate if needed.
If you run warm, these are game-changers. Cool to the touch and crazy soft — perfect for summer nights (or perimenopause plot twists).
Eco-friendly, stretchy, and under $40. The print is so pretty it doubles as your “I might answer the door” set.
IYKYK. Oprah’s fave for a reason — cool, breathable, and elevated. I wear mine with a silk eye mask and pretend I’m at a spa.
Bonus points, if you throw in a little rose water mist, a silk scrunchie, and dim lighting — voilà, you’re sleeping like the radiant, stylish queen you are.
Now back to Jacqueline for more “live-longer-by-sleeping-better” magic…

NOW BACK TO THE BEDROOM HACKS with….
#5 BEDROOM TRANSFORMATION
The issue: Your sleep space feels more like a storage closet than a sanctuary.
Transform it with silk pillowcases (your hair will worship you), a sunrise alarm clock, heated eye mask, and a red light device that signals bedtime to your brain.
#6 THE WIND-DOWN RITUAL
The issue: You're scrolling TikTok when you should be decompressing.
Having a nighttime skin routine creates the perfect phone-free ritual. Add a nourishing moisturizer and lip treatment and you've got an instant spa experience that preps your mind for rest.
#7 SCENT THERAPY
Don’t sleep on scent! Transform your space with lavender oil in a diffuser, pillow mist, or relaxing lotion for instant calm vibes.
Here's The Real Talk: Your exhaustion isn't a character flaw. It's your body asking for what it needs to function.
THE RIPPLE EFFECT: Quality rest → hormone harmony → metabolism boost → sustained energy → unstoppable confidence.

P.S. Share this with your perpetually tired bestie.
P.P.S. Try the 10-3-2-1 rule tonight: No caffeine 10 hours before bed, no food 3 hours before, no work 2 hours before, and no screens 1 hour before sleep. Game changer.
