Hello Friends!
Oh the bliss of a wonderful nights rest. There’s nothing quite like it. We have discovered that while juggling motherhood and a new business venture, our sleep struggle has definitely become a thing! It got us talking about the negative impact a bad night can have on our day. We’ve all been there haven’t we? Thoughts and ideas creeping into your head, worries and concerns waking you up in the night and then finally when you do fall asleep, the alarm goes off! It can really set you off on the back foot for the rest of the day and leave you feeling like you are dropping balls and failing left, right and centre.
However, establishing a calming bedtime routine can make all the difference in fighting insomnia. Here are some effective strategies we’ve found really do enhance your sleep quality.
Headspace for Mindfulness
One of the best tools for easing into sleep is Headspace. This mindfulness app offers guided meditations specifically designed to help you wind down. By focusing on your breath and clearing your mind, you can create a tranquil mental space conducive to sleep.
This Works Sleep Spray
Another excellent addition to your bedtime routine is the This Works Sleep Spray. Infused with relaxing scents like lavender and chamomile, a few spritzes on your pillow can signal to your body that it’s time to rest, promoting a deeper and more restful sleep.
Warm Baths
Taking a warm bath before bed is a time-honored tradition for a reason. The warm water helps to relax your muscles and lower your body temperature after you exit, signaling to your body that it’s time to sleep. Add in some calming essential oils for an even more soothing experience.
Eye Masks
Finally, consider using an eye mask to block out light. A dark environment is essential for promoting melatonin production, which is crucial for quality sleep. An eye mask can help create a serene atmosphere, allowing you to drift off into a peaceful slumber.
By incorporating these practices into your nightly routine, you can create a sanctuary for sleep, making restful nights a reality. Sweet dreams!
