SLEEP SCENE

SLEEP IS SO IMPORTANT but it's so under-rated.  
Babies and children need extra sleep because their bodies are growing at such a high speed.  Teens need it because their bodies are changing into adults and they are going through hormone adjustments.  Adults need more sleep because they need to function properly and continue to maintain their health. 

MEMORY and THOUGHT RECALL is improved with better sleep. ILLNESS LESSENED with better sleep. HEALING is promoted with better sleep.  We are even more tolerant of others and ourselves with the right amount of sleep. 

HOW MUCH SLEEP DO WE NEED?  AT LEAST 7 HOURS OF uninterrupted SLEEP FOR THE ADULT.  More than that each night is actually not good unless you are healing from an illness or injury. 

SETTING THE SCENE FOR SLEEP

  • Not eating 3-hours before sleep is a good habit - allows the body to prepare for sleep
  • Turn off electronics at least 30 minutes before going to bed at night
  • Create a calming environment - cool room, comfortable night clothes, no noise
  • Comfortable bedding and pillow
  • READY SET GO - time to sleep


I include an essential oil called DREAM BLEND from an affordable essential oils company. You can order this amazing oil and use it 30-40 minutes before sleep:
