Tips for Sleeping Better

I don’t know about you but I don’t get the

Best sleep. I decided to look up

What the best tips were for getting

A better night's sleep.

Exercise….studies show people who

Exercise at least 3 times a week

Seem to sleep better than

Those who don’t.

Avoid late night workouts

As thoughts will actually

Keep you awake at night.

Try to unplug...TV, phones & computers

Give off light that tricks your brain into

Being awake. Studies show to try

And unplug at least an hour before

You try to fall asleep. They say

To read a book or to mediate an

Hour before bed.

Stick to a schedule… try to go to

Sleep at the same night every night

If you are able to and awake at the

Same time every day. Studies

Show if you do this your body

Will actually start to get use

To the schedule and it will help

You feel rested.

Cut your liquids out...try to stop

Drinking anything an hour before bed

Especially caffeine, the caffeine will

Keep you awake, any other drinks

Could make you get up in the middle

Of the night to use the bathroom

And then you have interrupted sleep.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
