Hi, I am good night sleep blogger Marsha Hill. As you have probably guessed, there are some nights when I simply cannot sleep sound. I brush my teeth, climb onto my swedish mattress, relax under my Magnolia down comforter and then–lie there with my eyes wide open! Ugh!
Before I take an herbal sleep remedy such as 7Hour Slumber or Sleep2Night, I try some of my favorite nighttime rituals to hopefully aid sleep.
First, I rid my Kensington bedroom of all the distractions. I can’t believe how much paperwork piles up in a few days. I don’t want to lie awake thinking about the car insurance premium that is due on my truck or the ten page application for my daughter to attend Loyola College in Maryland. I even close my laptop and take it out of the bedroom.
Next, I bargain with my sweetie for a massage exchange. I promise to give an incredible rubdown tomorrow night if I can get one tonight. Lavender or chamomile oil is the crowning touch.
Next, I meditate to the sound of the surf lapping at the shore. No, I don’t live on the beach, but I do live in a nice Kensington neighborhood near downtown. To hear waves, chirping birds or a gentle breeze rustling the trees, I turn on relaxing ambient sleep music.
If these things don’t do the trick, I pull out the heavy artillery. I take Sleep2Night, the non habit forming sleep aid. I believe it is one of the most effective sleep aids over the counter in Mc Lean. I have been using natural insomnia aids for 49. You don’t have to lie there with your eyes open.
