What Do I Need To Change To Get Better Rest?

We are all aware that a good night's rest is essential for your physical and mental well-being. The importance of good rest cannot be overstated, and it should not have to be.

However, in today's fast-paced environment, it can be quite a task to find enough time in the day to do everything, let alone get the ideal 7 to 8 hours of sleep. As we go through our daily doings; work, family time, endless to-do lists - sleep is a necessity. And not just sleep, but good, intentional rest.

Good rest is a fundamental pillar of our lives, so if you are finding yourself tossing and turning at night, or even struggling to feel well-rested when you wake up, perhaps it is time to make some changes. Here are a few ways you can implement small changes into your day-to-day routine to help you get better rest.

1. Set The Mood For Deep Rest: This seems like a very straightforward element to change, and it is. You would need to put some time in but remember, your bedroom is a sanctuary and it will be worth it. It is meant to be dedicated to your ultimate rest and relaxation. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, or stressed - you need to change some things.

- Invest in a quality mattress and quality bedding.
- Regulate the temperature in your room; if you are too warm or too cold, you will not rest well.
- Enhance the ambience of your bedroom. This can be done with the power of aroma; Spa Ceylon's Sleep Body & Pillow Mist is enriched with pure lavender and patchouli helping to relax and balance the senses as well as calming the mind and body. Spray this lightly over your bedding and over your body, and unwind.

2. Develop Healthy Sleep Habits: Given the nature of our lifestyles, it can be difficult to maintain healthy sleep habits but they are imperative to ensure you have good rest. Simple habits include;
- Having a regular sleep schedule (a specific time to wake up and a specific time to get into bed)
- Limiting screen time before bed. These habits should be where you start.

If you already have this in place, try to include unwinding activities into your night time routine, such as;
- Journaling
- Reading a chapter of your favourite book
- Indulging in self-care with Spa Ceylon's Sleep Calming Balm. Get into bed, play some of your favourite calming music and apply the balm finely on your temples, behind your ears and at the back of your neck. Inhale the scent and feel yourself relax into your bed. If you would prefer another product, the Spa Ceylon Sleep Calming Balm Roll-On works just as well too.

3. Work On Stress Management Stress management plays a major part in the quality of your rest. Stress can make it even more difficult to unwind and fall asleep, because your mind is constantly running, your body will not be able to relax and let go for a few hours to rest.

If this sounds like you, start by incorporating small stress-releasing practices into your daily routine that you can do at any given time of day, so that by the time you need to get ready for bed, you are already in a tranquil state of mind.

If you find that it is easier to deal with your stress all at once, and unwind once you are home - try having a relaxing bath. Indulge in Spa Ceylon's Sleep Bath & Shower Gel or Sleep Bath Soak before you get into bed. The relaxing blend of herbs and essential oils are guaranteed to leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready for a good night's rest.
