Everything You Need to Naturally Support Healthy Sleep

It’s Better Sleep Month! I think we can all admit that quality sleep is something we all know we need, but never seem to get enough of. And we’ve all heard how important it is. After all, not getting enough, quality sleep can cause brain fog, reduce your libido, and even make your skin look older. No thank you! We rounded up a few of our favorite tips to help you achieve better sleep naturally.

Ditch the devices

No really, put down your phones. As hard as it might be to part with Facebook, your favorite game or texting your bff, it’s definitely putting a damper on night’s sleep. The blue lights emitted by your phone or tablet suppresses your body’s melatonin production (melatonin is that great sleep-inducing hormone). It can also mess your body’s internal clock. Plan on putting down your electronic devices about 30-60 minutes before bedtime.

Start that sleep schedule

Going to bed and getting up at a specific time every day (including weekends) is incredibly important. It helps support your body’s circadian rhythm and internal clock. And when your body gets used to a schedule, you’ll have an easier time falling asleep and waking up. Those precious minutes when you’re not laying awake staring at the ceiling or constantly hitting the snooze button now are part of your productive and relaxing day!

Spray those sheets

A nice linen spray or hydrosol is a great way to enjoy the therapeutic of essential oils. And there are so many great oils to help you achieve a better night’s sleep! Hydrosols are a gentle and effective option for a pillow or linen spray. Try using Lavender or Chamomile, both well known for their calming effects. Or you can make this Vetiver Pillow Spray DIY! Vetiver, with an earthy, woodsy and spicy scent, is one of the most popular choices for its relaxing properties. It helps calm the mind before bedtime. Add a spritz or two to your bedding before bed to enjoy these benefits.
