​Not only is a great night sleep important for us moms but, what we do before we go to bed is even more important. Not only are we in a better mood, but are organized and thus becomes the foundation of your whole day. Here are seven things to do before heading to bed.

1. 1. Read. This can be an opportunity to learn new stuff, get inspired, generate ideas or challenge your mind with some philosophical topics.
   
2. 2. Access the next day: Make a to-do list, think of all the tasks – big or small – you need to get done tomorrow, even the non-essential ones. You’ll sleep better knowing that you’ve already planned for the day ahead and you’ll rise in the morning knowing that you’ve already taken care of the leg work to get a jump start on the day.
3. 3. Prepare meals: Not only should you prepare lunch for the next day but preparing meals for week is the best.
4. 4. Get The Gym Bag Ready: Say NO to excuses and prepare to head to the gym the next day. It only takes a minute to lay out your gear, but it’s a great shortcut for making sure you get your fitness in every morning. Taking care of your health is an important part of being a mom.
