Getting a good night's sleep is essential for your health and wellbeing. To help ensure you get the best night's sleep possible, here are some tips:
- Develop a consistent sleep routine: Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day helps your body get into a regular rhythm.
- Exercise regularly: Regular exercise helps to improve your overall sleep quality, but be sure to avoid exercising too close to bedtime.
- Establish a comfortable sleep environment: Keep your bedroom dark, cool and free of noise and distractions. Use natural bed linens.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed: Both can interfere with your sleep cycle. Instead try a relaxing herbal tea. We have a delicious blend called Restful Nights. Designed to support a healthy slumber, the Restful Nights blend is full of our favourite plants to take you off to dream land and nourish your nervous system while you’re there.
- Avoid screens at night: The blue light emitted from screens can disrupt your body's natural sleep cycle. Try candle gazing before bedtime. Using beeswax candles have also been shown to reduce air toxicity around the home. We have handmade, Australian, pure beeswax candles in our store.
- Relax before bed: Take some time to relax and unwind before bed. Try breathing exercises, reading a book, or taking a bath.
- Use our Sleep Oil and Sleepy time Mist.
