Good morning,
Tip of the day......Natural sleep remedies: Lifestyle changes, part 1
This is one of my favourite topics I like to share. Why…..because I struggle with sleep. Do you?
I am using an aroma diffuser (aromatherapy machine). You add your favourite oil, mine is lavender to help with sleep as well as water
and you plug it in. It produces a mist that evaporates into the air and your room smells lovely. You can have it on for as long as you need and it has a timer so you can set it for 2 or 4 hours. It also has an automatic colour cycle mode so you can watch the lights change colours. My sleep has improved.
I also have a chamomile tea before I go to bed and have done for years.
For the last couple of months I have attended Yoga, I will be honest I had mixed feelings about it. I wasn't sure if it was for me but I thoroughly enjoy it. Ali is an amazing instructor who makes you
feel very relaxed but you feel the exercises she does as well as the benefit and on a Monday night my sleep is so much better.
I would love to know if you have problems with sleep and what you do/use to help.
Below are some tips that can help combat sleep problems:
Turn off the TV if you have one in the bedroom. In some people, night time light can inhibit melatonin and create “social jetlag,” which mimics symptoms of having travelled several time zone, so keep your sleep surroundings as dark as possible.
Put other appliances to bed too. If you want a good, restful sleep, turn your appliances away from your bed. Or better yet, turn them off altogether. If you must use bedroom electronics, choose those
illuminated with red light, which is less disturbing to melanin production than blue light.
Give it up. If you don’t fall asleep within 30 minutes, sleep specialists recommend you get up and leave your bedroom or read. Then return to your bed to sleep when you feel tired again.
Let me know if any of this helps in any way 😁
As usual would love your thoughts. 😀
Have a good weekend.
