What Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Should Do Before Going to Bed
Okay, I know you’re thinking my advice is going to be to floss, brush your teeth, wash your face and moisturize, but men read this blog too and I know they’ll ignore at least three of the four recommendations. So today I’m off personal hygiene and onto a strategy that can alter your CLNC® productivity for life.
Let’s face it, no matter how energetic you are, you only get 24 hours in a day. Smart Certified Legal Nurse Consultants put your brain to work when you’re sleeping, not just while awake. As RNs, we know how important sleep is for the body’s physiological maintenance. Sleep can both recalibrate your tired brain and make new connections between important pieces of information already learned while awake. This, in turn, can help you find quicker and better solutions to problems.
Try this strategy: 30 minutes before you go to sleep, consider that one issue in your medical malpractice case or CLNC business that has you stumped. Then push it aside and use the 30 minutes to fully relax – meditate, soak in the tub or whatever relaxes you 🙂 for a full 30 minutes before you go to sleep. The next morning you might be surprised to wake up with the CLNC insight you’ve been struggling to solve.

I discovered that your idea of the morning 15 minutes for me time works. All day I felt more alert and refreshed. Trying to relax for 30 minutes before bedtime is another thing to accomplish, sometimes I lay awake and come up with ideas before going to sleep.
