Struggling to get good sleep? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Here are some simple tips for a restful night:
1. Put Down Your Phone
Avoid screens at least an hour before bed. The blue light messes with your sleep hormone, melatonin. Charge your phone away from your bed for a peaceful night. Or like me, switch it off completely!
2. Try Aromatherapy
Light a calming candle or diffuse soothing essential oils like lavender and rose geranium to unwind. Try our rest and bloom candles, diffusers or room and pillow mists.
3. Enjoy a Warm Bath
A soothing bath with essential oils helps relax your body and prepare for sleep. Add candles and herbal tea for an extra touch of relaxation. We also have perfect mineral bath salts for this. Try to avoid wine as it’s actually a stimulant.
4. Stick to a Sleep Schedule
Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Establish a calming bedtime routine to signal to your body it’s time to rest.
5. Avoid Caffeine Late at Night
Switch to herbal teas like chamomile or peppermint before bed. Caffeine, even decaf, can interfere with sleep.
6. Create a Cosy Sleep Space
Set your bedroom to a cool, comfortable temperature and ensure your bedding is cosy. Personally, I love a weighted blanket! Keep your room clutter-free and calm for the best rest.
7. Use Essential Oils
Essential oils like lavender and chamomile are perfect for promoting relaxation. Use them in a diffuser or as a calming massage oil.
8. Stop Scrolling and Read an Actual Book!
Ditch the late-night phone scrolling. Instead, read a book to wind down.
Good sleep is about creating the right environment and habits. Make your bedtime ritual soothing, and you’ll wake up refreshed and ready for the day! Sweet dreams! ✨
