Have a Routine! After a warm bath or before putting on your fave pj's, put on a sweet smelling lotion. Try Rose or Lavender because they are very soothing scents that help you relax. Then enjoy a glass of warm milk, or maybe even sip some chamomile tea!
A pillow..For your eyes! Lie in bed for a few minutes with a lavender pillow over your eyes. If you don't have one here's how to make your very own! 1. In a tall cup, mix 1 cup of uncooked rice with 2 tablespoons of dried lavender. You can find dried lavender at health stores. 2. Stretch the end of a soft sock over the mouth of the cup. Turn the cup upside down to fill the sock with your mixture. 3. Knot the end of the sock by tying it tightly with a ribbon around it. Trim the end on the sock with scissors, if you'd like. Enjoy you lavender pillow!
Muscle Melt! As you lie down on your back in bed, clench your toes for 5 seconds and then release. Work way up to your body, tensing and releasing the muscles in your legs, bottom, stomach, arms, hands, and even face. Then scan your body from head to toe. Is there any tension you left off, or are you ready to drift off?
By using these ideas, you will get better sleep at night! Sweet dreams!
