The Peaceful Sleeping Method

This peaceful sleeping method requires only a few small yet effective techniques to add to your nightly routine that will help you avoid the sleepless nights and the morning fog. The first thing you need to do is to change or add to your pre-sleep down-time. A nightly down-time routine preps your body for bed time. Start your down-time routine at least an hour before sleep time. For example, turn off the big bright lights and use the accent lights in your house instead. Also, avoid eating any heavy meals close to bedtime. Your body digests food better in an upright position. Lastly, you could do things that would make your morning routine smoother such as laying out your outfit or packing your lunch.

After down-time, you need to unwind and unburden yourself. Your bedtime routine should consist of the steps you take to best prepare yourself for sleep. Stretch, meditate, read- detox your mind from the day's clutter. Free yourself from the issues that plague you and may keep you up at night. For some, that may mean talking them over with your spouse or a friend. Get your worries out of your system as early as possible even if it is simply by writing them down.You may not be able to solve the problem, but you know what it is and have set it aside to be resolved at a later date. Next, you want to tap into all of your senses and give them a serenity boost. For instance, if you listen to music before bed, let it be calm and soothing like classical, jazz, or R&B. After washing the muck of the day away with a hot shower, rub your body down with your favorite cream or a scent that is light and soothing like lavender, a well known aromatherapy that induces calm, promotes relaxation, and relieves stress and tension.Your body is in your control and if all of your senses say be calm, be relaxed, and be peaceful your mind will have no choice but to get on board.

Finally, sleep time is the specific hour you need to be asleep for you to feel rested the following day. Thus, at the end of bedtime, you must set your mind to rest mode. Turn everything off and navigate your breath and your thoughts. On rest mode practice slow deep breaths and do so with either white noise or in complete silence. Mentally release any tension your body may be holding. Concentrate on the many ways your life has been blessed. Center yourself with thoughts of the things that make you smile and bring you joy as you drift off to sleep. This routine works as long as you follow your version of down-time, bedtime, and rest mode with consistent practice. Say goodbye to sleepless nights for good. Sweet Dreams.
