Sleep Issues Solved!

Do you sometimes have trouble falling asleep? I know I do. Here are my solutions that I personally use. I don't like to take sleeping pills at all. I've only taken them once because I had to get up at 3 in the morning and drive but I've never used them after that. It's not that they didn't work or had some weird side effect, but I just don't really like the idea of taking pills to fall asleep. Normally I'll just listen to my clock tick if I can't fall asleep and listen to the rhythm. That usually puts me out, but if it doesn't, I like to use aromatherapy.

The one I use is from Bath and Body Works. I think it sells for around $12 and the Body Shop has some for around $15. There are many different types. Some to relieve stress, calm down ect. They also come in different forms like body lotion, body wash, pillow mist ect. I use the pillow mist and all you do is spray it on the pillow you sleep on. The scents help you fall asleep. This works so well I love it! And it smells good! It smells like vanilla and lavender.

If you don't want to use this however, there is a trick I also use that I learned from my yoga class. Basically, you inhale deeply, then exhale deeply. That's one. You do this all the way up until ten. The trick is that if you find yourself pondering a thought then you have to start over. It really trains your mind to fall asleep or focus. If you're not asleep, then just keep breathing like you did when you were counting, but just don't count. If you get distracted you can count again.

Hope you guys enjoyed!
