6 Tips for Improving Sleep Quality

Create your at-home sanctuary

 

Incorporating these simple steps into your nightly routine can help you achieve better sleep quality, allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead.

  1. Create a Calm and Relaxing Environment:
    • Dim the Lights: Lower the lighting around your home to signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. Bright lights can interfere with your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
    • Light Candles: Place a few lit candles in your surroundings. The soft, warm light from candles can create a soothing atmosphere, promoting relaxation and preparing your mind for sleep.

6 Tips for Improving Sleep Quality

  1. Enjoy a Cup of Decaffeinated Herbal Tea:
    • Choose Chamomile: Make a cup of decaffeinated herbal tea, such as chamomile tea. Chamomile is known for its calming properties and can help you relax before bed.
    • Avoid Caffeine: Caffeine is a stimulant, so avoid coffee or any teas that contain caffeine just before bedtime. This will help prevent disruptions to your sleep.
 
  1. Limit Screen Time:
    • Avoid Bright Screens: Put your phones away and avoid working on your computers, laptops, and tablets. The blue light emitted by these devices can interfere with your body’s production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep.
    • Skip TV: Avoid watching TV right before bed. Instead, try reading a book or listening to calming music to help your mind unwind.
    •  
  1. Use a Pillow Spray:

    • Spray Your Bedding: Spray a good quality pillow spray in your bedroom. Spray it onto your sheets and bedding. The soothing scent will help create a relaxing environment, making it easier for you to drift off to sleep.

  1. Run a Warm Bath or Take a Shower:
    • Warm Bath: Run a warm bath and add one to two pumps of your chosen bath and body oil to the running water or try adding some pure lavender essential oil. 
    •  
    • Make sure to use an all-natural oil with essential oils, as these will be absorbed into the skin, further promoting relaxation while keeping the skin soft and supple.
    •  
    • Warm Shower: If you don’t have a bath, take a warm shower but avoid using oils while in the shower to prevent slippage. Once finished, pat your skin dry and then apply your chosen body oil to your body.

  1. Prepare for Bed:
    • Extinguish Candles: Next, unlight the candles as it’s time for bed.
    • Use the Restroom: You may need to use the loo to release any fluids from the herbal tea that you had earlier.
    • Set Bedroom Temperature: Make sure the bedroom is not too hot but at a comfortable temperature, somewhere between 16 to 18 degrees Celsius.
    •  
    • Get Comfortable: Tuck yourself into bed and begin by laying on your back. Put on your chosen eye mask.
    • Breathing: Take in 3 deep breaths through your nose and out through your mouth.
