Insomnia, Bedtime Rituals, Meditation...

Insomnia is a common response to the normal stress of daily life.

In a lot cases involving insomnia/sleep disorders- with the help of anti-stress mind-body practices, herbal remedies and self care routines, you can gently ease the tension and anxiety built up throughout your day.

Creating a regular bed/sleep time and routine is key to achieving healthy sleep- also incorporating a nightly ritual of a meditation technique or listening to guided visualization/meditation cds with calming music can have a strong influence on the nervous system and help to slow down your mind and contribute to a better -solid night's sleep.

For some people, meditation, deep breathing or any relaxation-promoting practice before sleep can reduce alertness and arousal.

But no matter what routine you adopt, it’s crucial to resist fretting over your sleep (or lack thereof).

Just try taking a moment or many moments- to devote yourself to some healthy tension-melting pampering, during the day and at bedtime to aid in catching some quality zzz's!

Until next time...

To your Mind, Body & Spirit
