I know, it looks so restful, doesn’t it?
Why is it we can create the most serene environment for ourselves and still finding ourselves wrestling with sleep? We try tapes, essential oils, foot creams, meditation, and there it is, the 4:00 a.m. wake-up call – coming from inside ourselves.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. In working with HempWorx organic CBD line, the number one issue for most everyone I talk to is sleep. Sleep is also a huge problem post-pandemic because if you weren’t a nervous person before you may have morphed into one seemingly overnight with the multitude of new challenges.
It’s important to understand as we age our sleep patterns change. Because our bodies don’t produce as much growth hormones the level of melatonin we produce gets lower too. We get less of the good stuff, less REM.
It might be a good time to try some CBD oil or gummies as part of your holiday-readiness plan.
Or, it might be time to hone in on some deep relaxation skills before bed, including the popular 3-2-1 rule. Three hours before bed you stop eating, two hours before bed you stop all work, and one hour before bed all screens are down. Reducing stimulation really works to help calm your nervous system.
The most important thing to note is sleep is a habit and it’s well worth investing in good sleep habits. While our sleep patterns change, our need for sleep doesn’t.
Keep finding ways to get the rest you need and making it an essential skill so you can get through the coming holidays with lots more joy and less stress.
