I don’t win awards for organizations or minimalism on the nightstand, but it’s a carefully curated tool and essential. They support my health, improve my sleep and set the tone for a productive day. I also mentioned my habit stacking podcast and posted that nightstands are the first thing you’ll see in the morning, so it’s also a great place to visually remind you of healthy habits.
Let me walk you through everything on my nightstand and explain why it’s there.
1. Quart-sized mason jar with salt
First thing: Hydration. My nightstand has a quart-sized mason jar filled with water and a teaspoon of high-quality mineral salt dissolved inside. why? Because rehydration first thing in the morning is impossible for me to negotiate. Overnight we lose water from breathing and sweat, leaving our bodies dehydrated. Adding a pinch of salt to the water gives you the essential electrolytes, which helps:
- Replenish your hydration level
- Supports adrenal function
- Blood pressure balance
- Kickstart Extraction
Sometimes I mix it by dissolving salt directly in my mouth before drinking regular water. Either way, this little morning ritual has a big impact on my energy level and overall happiness. Recently I’ve been using these microplastic-free salts. Check out these posts and this podcast. See why I love salt!
2. Morning and evening supplements
Good night sleep is only half of the battle. What you do in the morning is just as important. I store my dependable supplements on my nightstand so I don’t miss them. Here’s what I’m taking and why:
- Magnesium breakthrough: I take magnesium in the morning as I am a reverse modulator, but many people find it more effective at night. Magnesium is essential for hundreds of processes in the body. Supports muscle function, reduces stress and promotes energy production. It is also perfect for balancing hormones and improving sleep quality.
- Pecasol:This modified citrus pectin is my go-to for mild detoxification. It binds to heavy metals and toxins in the body and helps to safely eliminate them. I have discovered this is useful on my autoimmune recovery journey and I take it now regularly to reduce inflammation.
- Masszymes: Digestive enzyme supplements that help break down proteins and improve intestinal health. This is especially useful if you enjoyed a large amount of meal the night before. I take this morning and evening on an empty stomach, but sometimes I take it with my meal to improve my digestion. I mix it and often do both because it behaves differently when taken with or without food.
- It just makes probiotics flourish: A healthy gut is the foundation of health, and probiotics help to maintain that balance by supporting digestion and immunity. Also, take this at various times of the year with or without food.
- Wizard Science Neural RX: This is a game changer for brain health. Supports cognitive function, mental clarity and focus. I usually take this in the morning for energy boosting. Sometimes I take it at night and when I do, I usually have a vivid dream.
It looks a bit messy, but having these on my nightstand should not forget I take them, and I’m much more consistent in this way. I like it Glass jar like this It helps them look better. My kitchen table has the same jar with other supplements my kids and I take during the day.
