Here are things you can do to get more sleep, while helping your health in the process: • Turn off the lights: try to put down all of your electronics at least 2 hours before bed. The blue light on computers, tablets and smart phones tricks our body into believing it's still daytime, and melatonin doesn't get released (you know, the chemical that makes us want to sleep). This also applies to any very bright light around the house. Dim your lights before bed to ensure your body gets sleepy at the right time. • Essential oils for sleep: there are many essential oils out there that help calm the body and ready it for sleep. Lavender and frankincense are some of my favorites. Check out my article on essential oils for sleep for a full list of oils you can use in your sleep routine. • Reduce caffeine intake: caffeine consumed up to six hours before sleep can disrupt our sleeping patterns and throw us off. If you do decide to drink coffee, drink one cup in the morning, and don't drink past 12 p.m. • Engage in regular exercise: getting regular exercise can help you fall asleep faster, and ensure your sleep is deep. Make sure it is done several hours before you go to bed though, as exercise releases the stress hormone cortisol which can keep you awake. • Don't eat before bed: try not to eat at least 2-3 hours before you sleep. When our body is digesting, it can disrupt sleep, or prevent you from getting any sleep at all. liquid essentials on the go available in 12 ct & singles collagen ashwagandha K2D3 B12B6
