Hey lovelies. Today I have a post for you all on some tips that I use when I need a goodnights sleep. I struggle with falling asleep easily and often find myself awake at 3am scrolling through pinterest looking at cute dogs.. You know the feeling right?. I have never been, nor will I ever be somebody who can fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow. However these little things do help me fall asleep within half n hour instead of three hours.
Peppermint Tea. I'm not one for Camomile tea to be completely honest I hate the taste. Despite the fact it induces sleep I refuse to drink it. I've recently discovered that peppermint tea has the same effect. I love grabbing myself a warm cup of tea and snuggling up in bed, this makes me feel so relaxed. When I drink peppermint tea I feel my eyelids begin to drop a lot quicker. Tea makes me feel so cosy. I wouldn't recommend drinking caffeine tea right before bed if you're looking to fall asleep quickly.
Sleep sprays, these usually don't work for me and the smell often irritates me. That being said my mum managed to find the perfect spray. This particular one is by Febreze and has a gorgeous lavender scent. You spray this from a distance onto your bed sheets and pyjamas and it leaves a subtle hint of lavender. I particularly find the smell of lavender really comforting because it reminds me of my nan as she'd always have lavender in her garden. This again comforts me and also makes me feel fresh because its quite a clean scent.
I really enjoy listening to something when I fall asleep, it differs for me. Sometimes its an audible book, a podcast or the sound of rain. Any of these three I love falling asleep too. Lately it's been the sound of rain. I love the sound of rain. I usually turn it up to a medium volume, put my phone on my bedside table and just shut my eyes. I drift off so quickly. Rain makes me feel so calm and cosy because it screams Autumn/Winter to me and there my favourite times of the year. I use an app called Rain, Rain and you can set a timer for how long you want the app to play for. I usually go for about ten hours so then you wake up the sound of rain too and it doesn't stop half way through the night and start playing ocean noises. The sound of the ocean makes me need to pee as much as I love the beach I cant listen to it during the night!
If you fancy a good nights sleep I recommend using these tips and hopefully you drift off into a deep sleep and sleep like a baby! If you have your own tips then leave them in the comments below as I'd love to know what you do to fall asleep easy.
