The Solution That Helps Me Fall Asleep Fast — After 7 Years Of Tossing & Turning*

3 weeks ago | mindbodygreen.com | Hannah Margaret Allen

Image by MILLES STUDIO / StocksyApril 20, 2025Until recently, sleep didn't come as easy as I'd liked. The moment my head hit the pillow, I'd start making mental lists—don't forget to respond to those emails, add that to your to-do list tomorrow, etc.—making it a fight to doze off. No matter how early I started my bedtime routine or stopped drinking coffee, deep sleep remained a distant dream.

In fact, I think finding the right beauty products can feel a lot like dating. You often have to go through quite a few "not rights" before finding the one that is just right.

July 12, 2024We carefully vet all products and services featured on mindbodygreen using our commerce guidelines. Our selections are never influenced by the commissions earned from our links. To set the stage, I consider myself a minimal bra-wear. I don't wear bras often—and when I do, comfort is my main priority. I'm not a huge fan of bras with a lot of padding or fuss. What's more, I prefer designs with a little bit of wiggle room.

May 24, 2024 | mindbodygreen.com | Hannah Margaret Allen

Image by Milles Studio / StocksyMay 24, 2024In the latter part of 2022, my eating habits shifted dramatically.

I Was Hungry All The Time — Until I Started Paying Attention To This

Mar 21, 2024 | mindbodygreen.com | Hannah Margaret Allen

Image by Giada Canu / StocksyMarch 22, 2024This past year, just when I thought I'd figured out what foods make me feel my best, my appetite changed suddenly. I was more snacky, constantly thinking about my next meal and just, well, wanting to eat more. My doctor asked me how much protein I was eating, and as a vegetarian for 10 years, I realized I probably could do better there. So, after a decade of no meat, I started eating meat again (that's a story for a different day).
