We struggle with sleep issues for so many reasons. Aches, restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, technology, lack of exercise, the list goes on and on. Here are a few tips we have found helpful in our never-ending pursuit of the perfect night’s sleep. We hope you find them to be helpful too!

 Sleep & Wake Times:Sticking to a consistent sleep and wake schedule has been shown to improve sleep quality and aid in sleep duration.

 One of our favorite routines is to take a quick 5-10 minute shower after which we apply our Good Night Body Butter to any achy muscles. Then we take our daily dose of Mellow Mint 1000mg drops and do some light stretching followed by quiet 5-10 minutes of mindfulness meditation. 

Turn those lights down low in the evening, not just to set the mood, but to get your circadian rhythm. Try using lower light settings before bedtime, and try using natural light i.e. sunrise, to help trigger your natural alarm clock in the morning.

Avoid using technology at least 30 minutes before bed, not only to avoid blue light but to also avoid content and news that can be distressing or induce anxiety. A little screen separation aided by our 1000mg Mellow Mint Tincture can really get you in the mood to gently fall into a restful night’s sleep. 

Eating a lighter meal before bed may help improve your sleep. What you put into your body before bed directly affects how well you sleep. Maybe skip the wine and make a light alcohol-free cocktail with our 500mg Mellow Mint Tincture, find our favorite recipe here.

No, not that! I’m talking about your favorite sleep position. How do you find the best rest? You can feel even more invigorated by hoping in the shower and moisturizing for the day with our carefully crafted Good Morning Body Oil. It smells delightful and uses the energizing scent of Sweet Orange Blossom to kick your day off right!
