Sleep

Of the four Foundational Accelerators that can boost your self-improvement journey, sleep is arguably the one that provides the most fundamental benefit. Not only does sleep provide a strong foundation for any self-Improvement journey, sleep also provides an important foundation for the other 'Foundational Accelerators' of Mental Health, Movement & Exercise and Hydration & Nutrition. While adjusting your bedtime and sleep routine is of primary value, whether that be the hour before bed or the hour after waking up, there are some changes you can make to ensure your environment is providing the very best opportunity for better sleep. Areas to consider are the basic comfort and temperature control from your mattress and/or bedding. Neck support from the type of pillow you have. Sound and air quality are also important so you may want to consider how you control a consistent level of noise in your bedroom with a white noise device, or improving the air quality through dedicated air quality control in your bedroom. There are other areas to consider, like crystals, aromatics, but the areas with the most gain, and often overlooked the most, are your bedding, pillow, mattress, light control, noise management and air quality. So there are countless areas you can invest into but the bottom line is, as with any of the foundational accelerators, there are also a host of no cost / or low cost options to get you started. It’s exactly how I started. For example, for sleep make the decision to go to bed earlier and work towards getting 8 hours sleep, for hydration drink a load more water and be consistent, for nutrition cut out added sugar and white carbs to begin with, for movement, well, just move more and for your mental health learn how to breath from your belly, download a free guided mention app and throw a few bags of ice in your bath tub. But for those that are already at that point, or just prefer to invest time and money into further accelerating their growth, there are countless ways to do that, some of which are listed below.

To help you decide how to progress, we'd like to be super transparent in two areas, Firstly, we at Snackable Self-Help don’t review all the products listed below. That’s not what Snackable Self-Help does. Snackable Self-Help was established to help you connect the concept of achieving better and faster results in your self-improvement journey by becoming more aware of the physical and emotional ‘foundational accelerators’. And, how improvements in these four areas can fast track your self-improvement while sustaining those new levels. Instead, we have selected the brands and products that, in our opinion, have the best fit while having the best reviews from a ton of happy customers. Secondly, to ensure we can continue investing into Snackable Self-Help, whether that be publishing the books, providing the website, or authoring new and relevant content, I do receive a small affiliate commission from the vendors noted below when purchases are made, but that cost is not passed on to you as the customer.
