I don't know what it is lately, but everyone that I have talked to has complained about not being able to get a good nights rest. They tell me that they have tried a long hot shower right before bed, exercising to make sure they are tired, or even drinking warm milk right before bed. Still, sleep seems to flee away. If you are suffering from lack of sleep here are some suggestions.
1.) Lavendoola's Lavender eye pillows are a great, easy and comfortable way to fall asleep fast. Made for comfort, filled with lavender and flaxseed, this is my favorite way to fall asleep. During the winter you can warm it up in the microwave for 20 seconds and it will hold its heat for up to thirty minutes, far longer than it will take you to fall asleep. The lavender not only acts as a natural sedative, but also helps you stay asleep. During the summer I just throw it on cold. Either way, I fall asleep fast.
If its a child that can't sleep, Lavendoola has Lavender Nap Sacks for kids.
You can warm them up the same as the eye pillows, just 10 seconds instead. In the winter, warm them up and put them in the baby's blanket to keep them warm, especially while traveling. Warm and sleeping baby - it's a dream come true! Use the nap sack to tuck your little one into the carseat. They come in a set of two, small to fit into diaper bags, and they're soft. Perfect nap sacks for nap time.
2.) Lavendool'a Lavender Syrup is a favorite with kids. Simple add some lavender syrup to their favorite drink, then send them off to bed. My kids beg for some lavender lemonade on Christmas eve. Even though there is lots of sugar, the lavender wins and they sleep all night.
Last fall my son made himself some lavender apple juice on a Friday night and slept great. The next day was family project day of cutting firewood. After several hours of work, he asked if he could go get a drink. I noticed that when he got back, he wasn't working as hard as he did before. When I questioned him about it he said, "To be honest Mom, the lavender apple juice I had last night was so good that I made myself another one just now." I will say, he was useless the rest of the afternoon. I even found him sleeping in the truck while the rest of us loaded it with split wood.
3.) A lavender bath salt bath right before bed is always a good idea. The warm water and lavender in the air will relaxed even the most stressed people. Just remember, don't sleep in the bath tub.
There are many other ways, spray lavender water on your pillow. the scent will last an hour or two, though to some people the scent of lavender is an aphrodisiac, so sleep may be postponed a while if that is your experience.
Rub some lavender massage oil, to help you relax. Try a lavender sugar scrub if showers are better for you and a bath.
Regardless of the way you use it, lavender from Lavendoola is the best way to help you get the much needed rest. Lavendoola.com
