We’ve all had those nights where no matter how tired we are, sleep just doesn’t come. You could be mentally and physically tired, and sleep still evades you. There is a bout of tossing and turning, followed by hours staring at the ceiling while self-evaluation feels endless! However, the silver lining is; you don't need to swallow heavy pills or resort to severe measures. Something as small as a gentle natural remedy creates wonders to calm the jangled mind and usher in sleep.

Take a look at these five easy going but proficient remedies you can try tonight for a restful sleep:

1. Calm Sleep Environment

Don't downplay your environment. A messy, loud, or well-lit room keeps the brain awake and not at ease. Turn the lights low at least an hour ahead of time, keep your bedroom cold, and stay away from distractions like keeping your phone or computer away. Fresh smelling bed sheets and blackout blinds will coax your body into sleep.

2. Drink a Warm Nightcap

Individuals have been returning to warm beverages such as chamomile tea, lavender tea, or a glass of warm milk before bed for centuries. These beverages calm the nervous system as well as the muscles, making it easier to fall asleep. If caffeine results in sleepless nights, steer clear of evening coffee or black tea. Instead, drink herbal blends that help quiet your mind.

3. Try Calm Night Sleep Oil - A Relaxing Ritual

Sometimes, our minds require just as much help as our bodies do, when it comes to putting down the stress from a long day. This is where a calming evening ritual can really make a difference. Essen Pure Oils' Calm Night Sleep Oil is a natural blend that's formulated to help your body unwind and prepare itself for rest. 

Just apply some to your temples or wrists when you're getting ready for bed and let its soft, calming scent do its trick. Not only will the subtle fragrance calm your mind, it'll make your whole room a peaceful haven to sleep in. For those instances; where you find yourself lying awake with a racing mind, this easy ritual is just the solution to lead you off to sleep and have a sounder night's sleep.

4. Practice Gentle Breathing or Meditation

If your mind continues going round and round, gentle breathing can be immensely effective. Experiment with breathing in slowly for a count of four, holding for four, and breathing out for six. This tells your nervous system that it's okay to unwind. Even a brief 5 minute meditation at bedtime can quiet the mind, lower anxiety, and establish the relaxation necessary to fall asleep more easily.

5. Restricting Bedtime Screen Usage

Scrolling through your phone is quite refreshing, but the blue light from screens misleads your brain to thinking that it's daytime. There is a delay in the production of “melatonin” , the hormone that makes you sleepy. So disconnect at least an hour before bed by reading a light book, listening to calming music, or simply continuing the reflection on the activities of your day. 

Conclusion 

Good sleep does not have to be complex. It's just mind conditioning. A few easy mindful changes; a creation of a calming atmosphere, a warm herbal drink, or soothing oils, like Essen Pure Oils’ Calm Night Sleep Oil, would teach the body and mind on their own to relax and prepare for a night of good rest. The only thing to be kept in mind is the continuity. Regular use of these remedies would make it easier for the person to fall asleep comfortably and wake up refreshed pretty much every day.
