Sleep

It’s a well-established fact that sleep is essential to our physical, emotional and mental health, so getting a good night’s sleep is incredibly important for your health. In fact, it’s just as important as eating balanced, nutritious meals and exercising.

Though sleep needs vary from person to person, most adults require between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. Both sleeping too much or too little can be detrimental to your health.

Creating a Sleep-Inducing Bedroom

Use a good mattress, pillow and bedding.
Sleeping in a darkened room helps quality of sleep, use black out curtains if you can and avoid electronic devices and TV in the bedroom.
Make your bedroom as quiet and peaceful as possible.
Have the right temperature, sleep is most restful in a cool bedroom.
Use essential oils like lavender in a diffuser to help you fall asleep or put a few drops on your pillow or a handkerchief.
