A Good Night’s Sleep<br />
By: Linda Bateman-Gomez / Timeless Beauty<br />
I<br />
f<br />
you’re like me, sleep doesn’t come easy<br />
and I have to make an effort to get that<br />
much needed beauty sleep! So if you’re missing<br />
that pep in your step, here are a<br />
few ideas to make a difference.<br />
(1) White Noise<br />
Machines. I recently decided<br />
to give one a try and I love it!<br />
These machines produce a<br />
whirring noise that helps you to<br />
stay asleep at night.<br />
Very often outside noises, can<br />
cause you to wake up. And if<br />
you’re like me, once I’m up, it’s<br />
nearly impossible to go back!<br />
Similar to a monotone<br />
version of the ocean, the<br />
background consistency produced by white noise helps to block<br />
out the wide variety of sounds. These are oddly soothing and works<br />
remarkably well!<br />
(2) Turn off your devices! We all have heard this, but rarely<br />
follow it. Phones, tablets, laptops - we bring them all to bed. And if<br />
they happen to be charging right there on the nightstand it’s tempting<br />
to take one last look. Hard as it is, try and choose a cut-off time for<br />
technology.<br />
(3) Add some pampering to your routine. Pick up a<br />
pillow mist like Bath and Body Works’ Lavender Vanilla. Take a<br />
bath, or try out some new, super soft sheets.<br />
(4) Go to bed! While this sounds like it should be obvious, even<br />
when we start to feel tired, many<br />
of us continue to stay up!<br />
One more TV show, one more<br />
chapter in that book, just a bit<br />
more work - the endless excuses<br />
at night can actually disrupt the<br />
ability to fall asleep. For those of<br />
us that have a hard time falling<br />
asleep, don’t ignore the signals<br />
earlier in the night by pushing<br />
to stay up.<br />
Our minds and bodies are<br />
amazing machines that need<br />
downtime and rest. It helps us to think more clearly and is a huge<br />
part of the anti-aging regimen. Try these suggestions! You’ll not only<br />
feel better, but look better too!<br />
