We spend a third of our life doing it; it’s a vital process in our bodies’ ability to function and also to repair itself, yet we are the only species that intentionally deprives itself of sleep. Every facet of wellness is affected by how we sleep, and lack of sleep or inadequate sleep is linked with poor memory and thinking ability, low mood, changeable emotions, anxiety and lack of creativity, yet still we choose to neglect it. Two thirds of adults in developed nations fail to obtain the nightly eight hours of sleep recommended by The World Health Organization.
Preparing our body for sleep – our sleep hygiene – involves a variety of different practices and habits required for quality sleep and full daytime alertness. Our friends at Bamford have shared a 10-step guide to helping you improve your sleep routine ….think of it as the same as a child’s bedtime routine!
There are also many products recommended to help with creating a better sleep routine including, Bamford’s B Silent Pillow Mist, B Silent Bath Concentrate, and the Temple Balm.
