Why sleep is your summer superpower.
Hey, beautiful souls!
As the days get longer and the nights get warmer, it's easy to get caught up in the summer hustle. From late-night bonfires to sunrise yoga sessions, we pack our days with adventures. And often we don't use the nighttime to rest and rejuvenate our bodies and minds. So here's the most effective superpower to making the absolute most out of your summer: SLEEP.
Why is sleep so crucial in the summer?
Beat the Heat: Your body works overtime to regulate its temperature during those warm nights. Quality sleep helps your body cool down and recover from the day’s heat.
Glow from Within: Beauty sleep is real! Summer sun can be harsh on your skin, and a good night’s sleep helps repair and rejuvenate your skin cells, keeping that summer glow going strong.
Energize Your Days: Longer days mean more daylight to enjoy, but only if you're well-rested. Quality sleep boosts your energy levels, so you can make the most of your summer adventures.
Boost Your Mood: With all the summer socializing, you want to be your best self. Proper sleep balances your mood and keeps you feeling upbeat and positive.
Strengthen Immunity: Summer sleep helps your body strengthen its immune system, preparing you to stay strong and healthy as we transition into the fall season.
How to catch those zzz's like a pro.
Set a Summer Sleep Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. If you are traveling, be intentional about your self-care rest and plan out your days to maximize sleep. You will get use to it. You will feel the difference in a few day. Your body will thank you.
Create a Cool Sleep Environment: Use fans, keep the shades drawn, and consider cooling bedding to keep your sleep space comfy. Create a sleep sanctuary that is more comfortable that any other spot in the house. This concept of sleep hygiene is so powerful. Ask me to learn more.
Wind Down Naturally: If you must eat a snack, opt for sleep inducing favorites like a banana or almonds. Or drink a calming herbal tea. Incorporate a relaxing bedtime routine with some light stretching, reading, or listening to calming music. Journal your days thoughts. Say goodbye to screens at least an hour before bed.
Essential Oils: Use calming scents like lavender or chamomile to create a soothing atmosphere. Just a few drops of oil on your pillow can work wonders. Go one step further and grab the synergistic serenity blend & sleep system, which has both of them ready for you, including tart cherry which is exactly what your body needs to quite the mind and slip into slumber.
