Essential Oils for Sleep

 

Sleep is essential for living a healthy lifestyle and just as important to eat healthy and get physical exercise, but many people neglect it. Some think that sleeping is a waste of time, and this idea will cause people to not get enough sleep.

Sleep is necessary for:

 

  • - Fighting off infection
  • - Perform well at school and work
  • - Supports Metabolism

 

Consider the following to improve your sleeping habit:

 

1. Improve your diet with the best vitamins and supplements.
2. When you increase physical activity during the day, you will need recovery in the evening.
3. Make your bedroom a sleep space only. Take work and entertainment out of your bedroom.
4. Make your room as dark as possible. Research has shown that a blackout room is the best

for proper hormone production like melatonin.

5. If you are a night owl, stay up late but get the full hours of sleep you need. If you're an early

bird, go to bed early so that you can rise early.
