Sometimes Sunday mornings are the greatest… especially after a solid night’s sleep! There’s a brightness to the day when sleep is fulfilled, and as of recent times – since my sleep patterns have not been so great… I am fully aware of just how important getting sleep is.
Some of the benefits of catching zzz’s include:
Improves memory
Can add years to your life! (both literally and physically/aesthetically)
Helps relieve or prevent inflammation of muscles and joints
Sparks creativity and a new passion for the day ahead or life in general
Sharpens attention span
Helps with weight gain or loss
Helps relieve stress, anxiety and depression
Ways to enhance your chance of getting a good night’s sleep:
Drink less caffeine during the day, but especially at night before bed
Avoid eating dinner or snacking past a certain hour
Watch less scary or dramatic TV or media before bed
Give yourself the chance to unwind after a long day
Take a hot bath
Try to put your mind at ease by creating a dark and cozy sleep environment
Lavender under your pillow or a simple inhalation of the scent before bed sometimes help reset brain patterns and aids in relaxation
Repeat a mantra for peace and relaxation. This can also be an idea or notion you are working more on actualizing as truth in your life. This can be made up, or one that already exists that you can find in various meditation or yogic books.
**A mantra is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered capable of “creating transformation
