Sleepy time support
Sleep is the ultimate reset button, and yet, it’s something we all take for granted until it goes missing. Did you know most adults struggle with insomnia at some point in their lifetime? Poor sleep doesn’t just make you tired and moody; it can mess up your focus, immunity, and overall wellbeing.
There’s a few practices that can improve your sleep hygiene, and depending on how big of a challenge sleep is for you lately, you will want to implement as little or as many of them to combat this issue.
⋅Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
⋅Leave your phone outside the bedroom, or at least, away from your bed.
⋅Create a bedtime ritual; this can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be and it can involve breathwork, reading a few pages of your book, stretching, etc. Add a little fragrant magic to your night routine with our Dream On Relax & Sleep Oil, a dreamy blend of vanilla, chamomile, sandalwood and more, designed to help relieve the stress, quieten the mind and put you gently into sleep.
⋅Blue light destroys sleep-switch off all screens 1h before bedtime.
⋅Set the perfect sleep environment; cool, dark, quiet. Use a sleepmask and earplugs if needed.
⋅Avoid coffee in the afternoon.
⋅Get sunlight on your face as early as possible in the morning and exercise earlier in the day to help your body attune to its circadian rhythm.
⋅Massage your face, hands and feet, focusing on the pressure points seen in the photos below.
⋅Have a footbath later in the day with magnesium sulphate (epsom salt) or spray your belly and feel with some magnesium oil (magnesium chloride). It might be worth asking your dr about supplementing with magnesium orally as well.
⋅Have a cup of calming herbal tea (chamomile, melissa, rose, valerian, oat, lavender) in the night. Stop having liquids at least 1h before you go to bed
