Restful Sleep

Getting a good night’s sleep is incredibly important for your overall health. In fact, it’s just as important as quality nutrition and exercise. Without proper sleep, your cognition, productivity, immune system function and metabolism function are all at risk. Here are a few simple things to do to help with quality sleep.

 

Essential Oils:

In a 10ml rollerball, add the following:

  • 20 drops Balance

  • 20 drops Serenity

  • 20 drops Copaiba

  • 10 drops Vetiver

  • 10 drops Roman Chamomile

  • Top off with Fractionated Coconut oil

  • Apply on the back of your neck and bottoms of your feet before bed. Make sure to rub the oils in well.

Diffuse

Get that diffuser out! It’s a great way to get the benefits of essential oils throughout the night. Inhaled essential oils provide the fastest route into the body. When you breathe in the oils, the olfactory bulb in your limbic system is stimulated, providing an instant response. All the oils recommended will have a calming, soothing effect on the body and mind, allowing for quality sleep.

  • Get a routine - A nighttime routine is the best way to prime your body for sleep. Create a timeline of patterns each night; eat dinner, prepare for the next day, get in bed, read or listen to an audio book, take a bath or other night-time self care routines, plan for lights out, all around the same time. This gives your body clues that it’s time to wind down.

  • Meditation/Gratitude - These are the two biggest things that have helped me and my kids when they struggle. Right before bed, it can be as simple as closing your eyes and naming 3 things you are grateful for that day. Meditation is easy as an app download and closing your eyes. Keep it simple, especially if you’re new to meditation. 

  • Binaural beats - If you haven’t heard about binaural beats, you’re missing out. Binaural beats induce the same mental state associated with meditation. Different frequencies help with different states in the body. I listen to Meditative Mind YouTube Channel Play the frequency for your needs and you will feel amazing sleep benefits!
