Nighty-Night: Sleep Tight



It's happened to all of us. Had too much caffiene before bed, didn't relax until it was time to sleep, wasn't tired at all. Whatever your problem, insomnia can make you super tired and cranky the next day if you dont stop it. Here are some great tips for falling asleep faster:

Spray a comforting scent. I wouldn't recommend spraying a sweet of citrusy scent, because that tends to wake your body up. Try something like Lavender Chamomile Body Spray I spray mine over my sheets a few minutes before I lay down, and the scent is so calming. I also love to burn candles. Bath And Body Works has some fantastic ones to choose from.

Relax! When you're running around all day you probably are still wide awake at bed time. Try taking a soothing bath, reading a pleasure book, or drawing/ writing. It's a great way to lose all of the stress that accumulates in your mind throughout the day.

Control your caffiene. in addition to not being healthy for you, caffiene will make you buzz, not sleep. If you want to have a coffee, a soda, or chocolate (which is chock-full of the stuff), try to not eat  or drink it after 7-8 P.m., depending on when you want to go to bed.

What's your favorite way to end the day?
