Do you struggle getting a good nights sleep or even staying asleep through the night?
Sleep is a struggle especially for women going through menopause or experiencing hormonal imbalances and hot flashes.
There are many factors that can interfere with our sleep patterns.
* work shift * caffeine * distractions * stress * lights * temperature of room * mattress * pillow * hormones * allergies * EMF's
Getting a good nights sleep is essential to our health.
1) Poor sleep is linked to weight gain or the inability to lose weight
2) Poor sleep leads to eating more calories and a bigger appetite
3) Good sleep improves concentration and productivity, whereas a lack affects brain function
4) Poor sleepers have a greater risk of heart disease and stroke
5) Poor sleep is linked to depression
6) Sleep improves your immune function so the body can repair itself
How to set the stage for a good nights rest:
1) Set a regular bedtime
2) Avoid caffeine 10 hours before bedtime
3) Don't eat 3 hours prior to bedtime
4) 1-2 hours prior, avoid screen time
5) Don't drink alcohol
6) Set your environment- Dark room, cool temp at 65, keep phone away from body, comfortable mattress/pillow, noise machine
Other things that have helped me sleep better:
1) Magnesuim
2) Epsom salt bath
3) Lavender Essential Oil
4) Melatonin
5) Relaxing music
