Here is my review for reishi mushroom tea, the one thing that has helped me to finally sleep at night

This has become my favorite sleep aid. And no, this is not sponsored. But, I like to share things that are useful to me since it may be useful to someone else. If you try it, I’d like to hear if it works out for you, just as it has worked out for me. <3

There goes the ocean, calming me down.

The moon behind the cypress trees, overlooking the edge of the world. Crescent white sometimes, a beautiful yellow, a full blood orange.

Those are the night streets alongside channing, dorms rising out into the sky, little orange windows brightly lit against the twilight air. Out of wooden houses further up the mountain, the orange light beckons me to their windows, the bright green plants draping over windowsills, the laughter of students inside. Living, cooking, eating, lounging. It feels like home. Homes, so many of them. On this street, under the moon, we're all connected.

I look down it and I see the bright lights of our soccer games and the shadows of my friends walking alongside me, the twinkling city lights, and the puffs of dirt rising over the track hidden behind the bend of thick thick trees, the telephone wires crisscrossing above, swooping down the hill through the city, to the ocean far far away. You can hear the hum of this whole city, quaint yet bustling, students laughing, TVs on, university posters hanging inside living room windows. The air buzzes, a fire alarm is tingling somewhere, but we can't hear it because this whole city is breathing with sounds, soft and light and tinkling. The wind from the ocean travels by, the fog coils over the mountains, the lights play in the fog, the buses squeak by and pass me with those foghorn lights, the chilly air whispers by in the blue night, and I feel warm. I always feel warm here.

Yoga for Daylight Savings | 5 Poses to Help You With the Time Change

Try this yoga for daylight savings to help your circadian rhythm adjust.

When we “fall back” an hour to end daylight savings time, it can be tempting to think of the time change as a boon. After all, we gain an extra hour of sleep! However, it’s important to recognize that the time change can actually be really disorienting. Whether you’re a night owl or morning person, there’s a chance the end of daylight savings time may prompt you to experience symptoms such as fogginess, fatigue, restless energy in the evenings, disrupted sleep, and irritability. The good news? You can use your yoga practice to help adjust your body’s rhythm and ease the transition.

Daylight Savings and Yoga: A TCM Perspective

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there are 12 organ systems and each organ’s energy is what we call “active” for a 2-hour period, which gives a 24-hour clock, or cycle of energy, throughout the body.

The TCM perspective for proper bedtime is somewhere before 11 p.m., so that the liver and gallbladder energy is not disrupted. The liver and gallbladder are active from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., and they are the Judge and General of the body and mind: The liver allows for planning and strategizing, while the gallbladder makes decisions and clear judgements. If you’re up during this time, you might impede these attributes within yourself.

When daylight savings time ends, a 10 p.m. bedtime is really an 11 p.m. bedtime, prior to the switch. So, to help our bodies adjust to this new “clock,” we will focus on yoga poses that move the energy of the liver and gallbladder channels, calm our minds, and clear any stress from our day. A stimulation of the kidneys through compression, in our last pose, will also assist the secondary system of circadian rhythm management: the adrenals. (Note, while TCM does not recognize the adrenals, we incorporate the adrenals with the kidneys in the modern view of TCM).

Before You Begin

I recommended you do this sequence two hours before your preferred bedtime (as this would correlate to an hour before your bedtime, previous to the time change). This will allow for a smoother transition in your body and mind.

Make sure the room is brightly lit, which communicates to the pineal gland to delay the secretion of melatonin and decrease sleepiness. You will need a blanket, block, and wall space.

TCM-Inspired Yoga for the End of Daylight Savings 

1. Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend)

We begin with a simple forward fold, allowing for a gentle decompression of the neck and spine. With an easy breath, begin to feel the contents of your mind drip onto the floor, disengaging from any overthinking you might be doing. Allow gravity to do the work here as you begin to relax from your day.

How-to: Place your feet hip-width apart. With a gentle bend in your knees, hinge at your hips as you fold forward, bringing your belly to your thighs. Grab opposite elbows and relax your neck. Stay here for 1 minute.
