Still Wide Awake? Three Simple Ways to Wind Down Before Bed

Some evenings, you can be tired all day and still feel wide awake at bedtime. Emails, tomorrow’s plans and unfinished thoughts have a habit of following us under the covers.

Instead of treating sleep as something to achieve, make the last 30 minutes of the day feel noticeably different. Lower the lights, put your phone aside and follow these three simple steps to help your mind and body slow down.

1. Create a Calmer Setting
   Start by changing the feel of your bedroom. Dim the lights, add a few drops of Organic Lavender Essential Oil to your diffuser, then lightly mist your pillow and bed linen with Orange Blossom Linen Spray. The softer light and familiar scent create a clear break from the day.
   
   
2. Release Physical Tension
