Who wants to sleep well? I think we’re all a little sleep deprived and stressed right now. Studies reveal that stress and sleep directly affect each other and go hand in hand. Too much stress = not enough sleep, and not enough sleep = the ability to be more easily stressed. It’s a vicious cycle, and it’s so important during these trying times to blow the whistle and call a time out. Relax, take some sweet time for yourself! You can start by creating a relaxing environment for yourself. Thymes has a fabulous line of relaxation products in their Sleep Well line which I found quite helpful in promoting a great night’s rest. Here are a few easy steps to have you snoozing in no time:
1. Light your Thymes Sleep Well Aromatic Candle
2. Enjoy your bath and lather up with your Sleep Well bar soap
3. Hydrate your skin with Thymes Sleep Well AHA Body Lotion
4. Blow out your candle! Don’t be tempted to take it in the bedroom… I know it’s romantic and all but it’s not safe. You’re going to be sleeping soon!
5. Get your linens and pillows ready for slumber with the Thymes Sleep Well Mist for Body & Bed
6. Wake up and repeat every night that you can!
While this isn’t a magical potion to force you fall asleep, it will relax you which will make it MUCH easier for you to induce your own slumber. Our inability to relax is pretty much why we can’t sleep in the first place! It’s important to create these night time rituals to shut down and signal your mind that it’s time to stop. You wouldn’t just turn off your computer without a proper shut down, would you? It’s amazing how much better we function with just a few nights of better sleeping and rest under our belts. Try it out, let me know how it works. I want to hear what your fave night time rituals are. What makes you sleep like a baby?
