Drift Into Peaceful Sleep
Prepare for deep, restorative rest with our Sleepy Time blend featuring Mandarin, Marjoram, Lavender, Ylang Ylang, and Vetiver essential oils. This calming combination helps reduce stress and nervous tension while promoting restfulness, making it the perfect bedtime ritual for those who struggle to unwind and fall asleep.
Your Bedtime Wind-Down Ritual:
-
Start Early (60-90 minutes before bed) - Begin your wind-down routine well before bedtime to give your body time to relax and prepare for sleep.
-
Dim the Lights - Lower the lights throughout your home and turn off screens. This signals to your body that it's time to prepare for rest.
-
Draw Your Bath - Fill your tub with warm (not hot) water around 100-102°F. Water that's too hot can be stimulating rather than relaxing.
-
Add Bath Salts - Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Sleepy Time Bath Salts under running water. Breathe in the soothing blend of mandarin, lavender, and marjoram.
-
Soak for 20 Minutes - Settle into the water and let go of the day. Focus on slow, deep breathing as the calming aromas of ylang ylang and vetiver quiet your nervous system.
-
Practice Sleep Breathing - Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 6. This breathing pattern activates your body's relaxation response and prepares you for sleep.
-
Cool Down Gradually - After your soak, rinse with slightly cooler water, pat dry, and put on comfortable sleepwear.
-
Head to Bed - Within 30 minutes of your bath, settle into bed. Your body temperature will naturally drop, signaling it's time for deep sleep.
When to Use Your Sleepy Time Ritual:
- Every night before bed for chronic sleep issues
- Sunday through Thursday nights to ensure quality weeknight sleep
- After stressful days when your mind won't stop racing
