Deep, restful sleep is at the ear of our physical and mental wellness, and we all know how important is it to get a good sleep or even a time to relax. Even if you find the time, it is sometimes challenging to utilise the time in the best way to fully relax, and not coming out even more tense, stressed and overthinking.
With days becoming shorter, dark evening coming quicker and continuity of working from home may radically affect our productivity and well being. Both from physical and mental health.
Here are 5 tips on how to wind down your routine before bed time, for a restorative and peaceful night sleeps:
1. Run the perfect bath or warm shower
It is obvious and somewhat proven that warm baths or long hot showers help to reduce anxiety and soothe aching muscles. make sure that the temperature water is just warm and not too hot, making you sweaty or uncomfortable. To increase the mood, light up some aromatic candles, play some relaxing music in the background or add some bath oil for more relaxing aromatherapy to soothes, calm and ground the body and mind. Enjoy the moments to unwind yourself before bed. Lie back and just relax.
2. Switch off devices
Being creative is in many ways very therapeutic, so why not spend some time in the evenings being creative. Whether it will be painting, knitting, colouring or any kind of DYI you can think of. Definitely, it is an activity where you can not only activate your brain in full, but also a healthier way to spend your evening rather than just starting into a monitor of your laptop or TV. Therefore make sure to switch off your electronics in a given time, the light from screens are not good for you before bedtime!
3. Stretch out
There is nothing wrong by doing some quick stretch out exercises, yoga or meditation before your bedtime. These are excellent ways to promote a healthy sleeping pattern and relaxing both your mind and body. There are so many contents online, so look for exercises and poses that are designed specifically for pre-bedtime.
4. Create a bedroom oasis
Space is always important, from bedding, mattress, lighting to the ambience around. Make sure to make your bedroom as comfortable as you can so you will always feel safe and cozy in there.
5. Drink a bedtime tea for a good night sleep
Before bed, drink a dreamy, soothing blend of tea to encourage blissfully restful sleep. The best bedtime natural remedy teas that can help you to sleep is for example chamomile, valerian, lavender, passionflower or lemon balm.
