 ✨🌙Some natural ideas to help

you tackle sleep issues ✨🌙

Certain natural methods,such as having a consistent bedtime routine, avoiding screens before bedtime, reading before bed, doing gentle exercise during the day, and practicing certain mindfulness techniques can help. Different things work for different people, so take some time to experiment to find what works.

Bathe in magnesium
Magnesium has long been touted as a homeopathic way to help relieve insomnia. Studies have found it helps decrease cortisol, the ‘stress hormone’ that can keep you up at night. It also helps muscles relax, to bring on that yawn~inducing feeling at the end of a long day. If you don’t fancy swilling it down in capsule form, you could try taking a hot bath as I do.

Sip on some chamomile tea
A good cup of tea is just what the doctor ordered when sleep won’t come. Chamomile has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties, in particular its ability to help you relax. Just one cuppa of the stuff can have a mild sedative effect, as well as the added benefit of being helpful in alleviating menstrual cramps.

Tune into pink noise
You’ve probably heard of white noise, which is basically a consistent, fuzzy, static sound that has a masking effect, blocking out the sudden changes in noise that can disturb light sleepers. Pink noise goes one step further, slowing down your brainwaves and helping regulate them, giving you a steady, long sleep. Next time you’re having trouble drifting off, try filling your room with the sounds of waves lapping on the beach or leaves rustling in the trees, these are nature’s pink noise creators (there are lots of apps where you can find them).

Mindfulness meditation
Mindfulness meditation consists of slow, steady breathing while sitting quietly. You observe your breath, body, thoughts, feelings, and sensations as they rise and pass. Mindfulness meditation has numerous health benefits that go hand~in~hand with a healthy lifestyle promoting good sleep. It’s said to reduce stress, improve concentration, and boost immunity.

Yoga
Yoga has been found to have a positive effect on sleep quality. Yoga may also alleviate stress, improve physical functioning, and boost mental focus. Choose a style that focuses more on moving meditation or breath work as opposed to difficult physical movements.
Slow, controlled movements allow you to stay present and focused. Yin and restorative yoga are great options.

Exercise
Exercise boosts overall health. It can enhance your mood, give you more energy, aid in weight loss, and promote better sleep.

Have a massage
Massage therapy will reduce feelings of pain, anxiety, and depression.
If professional massage isn’t an option, you can do self~massage. You may also find it beneficial to have a partner or friend give you a massage. Allow your mind to focus on the feelings and sensations of touch as your mind wanders. Research online for tips and techniques.

Lavender oil
Lavender is used to improve mood, reduce pain, and promote sleep. Taking it orally is thought to be more effective. You can use a few drops diluted with a carrier oil and rub a little on your temples or put into an oil burner.

These are a few ideas that hopefully will help.
