Oh precious sleep, how I love thee! Resting all night long in my bed with no awareness until time to arise!All kidding aside. I DO NOT take quality sleep for granted because I sent many years without good sleep. How about you? Are you more like a Rock at night or restless flitting fairy?
The magic sleeping potion that is my go to EVERY night is a special blend from 2 different bottles.
The first is not only helping my eyes stay closed but in the background it also balances the body. It's working on anxiety, depression, gallstones, heart irregularity, mental clarity and the list goes on and on and on....
I'm VERY happy with these kind of side effects!!
The 2nd potion of goodness is most helpful for keeping the ZZZZZ's coming all night long. Additionally it's going to take care of bronchitis, cellulite, hair loss and any impending UTI as well as regulation of water in my cells and reducing oily secretions. It may seem to good to be true until you remember Who gave us these potions of goodness.....our God!
While this routine works every night to keep me asleep there are MANY more options for others who might not respond to what I consider my level 1 Sleep Protocol.

Inflammation is a natural response in our bodies, but chronic inflammation can lead to health issues. Combatting inflammation can be as easy as incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into our diets. Bright and colorful fruits and vegetables, healthy fats like avocados and nuts, and omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish or plant-based sources like chia seeds and walnuts are all great options. Whole grains like brown rice and quinoa, and herbs and spices like turmeric and ginger also have anti-inflammatory properties. Lastly, replacing sugary or caffeinated beverages with herbal teas can provide soothing benefits. By gradually incorporating these foods into our daily diet, we can promote a healthier lifestyle and show our bodies some love.

Ever find yourself laying in bed, the house quiet and 'everything as it should be' but your mind just won't shut off the 'what ifs', the 'if only's' or, you find yourself tossing over to your other side(one more time) looking to blissfully drift off to sleep and end up thinking about how you would rearrange your living room furniture? These nights lead to a LOT of googling "how to get a good night of sleep." The following are answers I found over a 10 year span that actually work.
Magnesium Glycinate. I'm going to leave the science to the googles. My experience is that it seemed to calm my whole body down including my mind in a very gentle way. I began by taking 2 pills right before bed. Soon I was only taking one before bed. If you have ridges in your fingernails or are prone to leg cramps you are likely Mg deficient.
Blackout Curtains. ALL lighting in my room had to go. No red glowing dots anywhere, no phone in the bedroom. I also bought an alarm clock with a dial to shut off the light. And yes, put tape over the power cord lights.
Lavender Essential Oil. On the tips of both big toes right before bed. Thank You massage therapist! Essential oils vary from being very beneficial to your health (Young Living won out after researching SO many others). While others can be detrimental to your health (most other essential oils - no matter what the bottle says). So when you hear me speak about essential oils please know it will only mean Young Living. And you are worth the very best!
Diffusing Lavender + Cedarwood. All.Night.Long. I am a big fan of diffusing. A diffuser is something you buy to put water and essential oils
in to be dispersed as an aerosol to make the room smell nice & to accomplish health benefits. In my case, the diffuser made ALL the difference in the world in how well and how long I slept. When essential oils are diffused we breathe the oils in and within seconds they are in every organ of our body and have the ability to cross the blood brain barrier. THIS is why it's so important to only use the BEST essential oils.
Progessence Plus. It turns out I was estrogen dominant and my hormones were like an overturned apple cart. At first I used a bio identical (expensive) progesterone that insurance wouldn't pay for. And then I found this little gem! Progessence Plus. Created by Dr. Dan Purser out of a wild yam extract. Economical, efficient, and calming. Brought all my levels back in range.
So, this is my story of a long journey with many ups and downs. There is more to it but this gives you the high points that gave me the answers that I needed to find quality sleep consistently! Hit me up if you have any specific questions. I'm always happy to help!
