Do you practice good sleep hygiene?

Yes. I have a strict schedule that rarely, if ever, changes from day to day

Somewhat. I generally try to go to bed around the same time every day, but am not strict about it.

Not really. I am all over the map. Sometimes I'm up early, sometimes I sleep in late.

I selected the "other" option because I'm usually in bed by 10, but I rarely sleep more than five or six hours.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

I learnt early in my healing journey that good quality sleep / rest was essential for me

to have the energy and focus to work full time I need 9-10 hours rest to get 8 hours sleep
Evenings I avoid tv/blue screen. Listen to podcasts and audiobooks to relax my mind.
magnesium foot soaks also help

When ever I am poorly and digestion out of sequence, minimal eating and additional rest (nap on the weekend) is like a reset for my body.
