How are you sleeping lately? I can honestly say, I'm not sleeping well. I'm sure it's a combination of things. I have valid reasons for over thinking and tossing and turning. Stuff like an overstimulated brain from working too late, younger kids not behaving like they should, oldest child's graduation, the second child getting her license, my parent's health, my spouse's health, and so much more. Really, at bedtime, that my thinking time.
It's not that I want it to be that way, that's just the time of day that it's the quietest and I can focus on ALL of those unanswered issues that I can't possibly fix overnight. My brain doesn't see it that way though. My brain thinks that it's a magic conference time for ALL of my issues to get to the table and fight over importance.
I am realistic, I know that all of my stuff won't get fixed immediately. What I mean about that is we are 3 months from my daughter's graduation. 6 months from our daughters' license, my husbands health is permanent, my mother's health concerns are temporary, our two youngest are so close they may as well be twins and they are teens, I know I don't need to say anything there. Nothing I lay awake and think about will change or fix any of that. I just need a little help getting into a comfortable place so I can sleep better. If I am healthy and well rested, everything else will fall into place. I have to stay well rested to keep up with this crowd!
Needing help, I reached out to Prime Natural to see what they recommend. They have an awesome blend for natural sleep and relaxation. That's perfect for me because I have tried sleep aid medications that have never worked well with me. My problems were falling asleep too hard and not staying asleep, sleeping to hard and missing my alarm, or waking up on time but feeling disoriented or unattached from my brain. I have just never had a great time with sleep aids.
That's why I love essential oils. I started paying more attention to natural remedies when my husband needed help but was on other meds that would react with sleep aids. The Sleep & Relaxation blend is perfect for what I need.
How it works is I apply a few drops to my hands and breath it in. How I do it is, I just cup my hands and breath in nice and deep. Another way is by putting it on the bottom of my feet. Yes, that is a real thing. I'm not exactly sure why that works so well but it does. It absorbs right in.
What it feels like is just like naturally getting tired. There isn't just a euphoric or disoriented feeling, it's just a natural relaxation that feels like getting tired on my own. Just snuggling up and drifting off to sleep like a normal person! woohoo!!
It's an awesome feeling compared to the laying there with rapid thoughts until I am waking up. I just end up falling asleep when I don't realize I'm doing it. Getting comfortable and relaxing first is so much better!
Do you know what it's like to get good sleep a few days in a row? It completely changes everything. It brings the stress levels of everything down. I can handle dealing with all of the other issues so much easier. I don't feel so overwhelmed, I can focus on stuff when I need to focus on it, the rapid thoughts at bedtime are going away. It's awesome!
It is so much easier to live when everything isn't so hectic. Just to think, managing one thing can affect so many other aspects of life. I have to stay healthy and on top of myself so I can take care of everything else. It's really is a welcomed change of pace. I feel like with better sleep, it has caused a healthier and less stressed outlook for everything for me.
