A good night\u2019s sleep is incredibly important! But for many people, it\u2019s not something they can take for granted.
A good night\u2019s sleep affects almost every aspect of your physical and mental well-being. In this blog, I\u2019ll take you on a journey into the world of sleep. Perhaps this post will put you to sleep \u2013 if so, I\u2019ll have achieved my goal, and I hope you sleep well \ud83d\ude09. Of course, I\u2019ll also be sharing some tips on how to use a few products from our The \u2018Sleep Well\u2019 range<\/a>. This way, you can get natural support to help you sleep better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of a good night\u2019s sleep<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we\u2019re all well aware of what a good night\u2019s sleep can do for us. You\u2019re sharper and more alert, and you really can cope with the world a bit better when you\u2019ve had a full night\u2019s sleep. But these aren\u2019t the only noticeable benefits you gain from a good night\u2019s sleep. There are so many more positive changes that you might not notice straight away, but which are definitely there! Here\u2019s a brief summary of the changes in your body that have been scientifically proven:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca4 Whilst you sleep, your body recovers from the day\u2019s physical exertions, cells regenerate, muscles recover and your immune system has the chance to recharge. Sleep is important for a healthy metabolism.
\ud83d\udca4 A good night\u2019s sleep helps to restore hormonal balance. If you have a bad night\u2019s sleep, you may experience increased stress levels and your appetite may even change. Poor sleep often leads to poorer eating habits, which in turn can lead to weight gain
\ud83d\udca4 A good night\u2019s sleep improves your mood. It helps you organise your thoughts, solve problems and keeps your emotions more stable.
\ud83d\udca4 Sleep also plays an important role in learning and concentration! It strengthens memory and helps form links between information and acquired knowledge.
\ud83d\udca4 There is evidence that people who sleep well on a regular basis have a longer life expectancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re reading this anyway, surely you want to get a good night\u2019s sleep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for a better night\u2019s sleep<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re all familiar with the tips for getting a better night\u2019s sleep. No more blue screens before bed, do something relaxing just before you go to sleep, cut down on caffeine and alcohol, get plenty of fresh air and go for a walk\u2026 But what if you\u2019ve already tried all of this and still can\u2019t get to sleep? Well, I\u2019ve still got a few handy tips for you on using our products from the \u2018Lekker Slapen\u2019 range. These are suitable for ages 8 and over. There are seven scent frequencies in total; I\u2019ll tell you a bit more about my own favourites, which I\u2019ve used a lot with my own family \ud83d\ude0a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, it may well be that you\u2019re sleeping poorly because you\u2019re being affected by the (negative) energy of others that you\u2019ve absorbed during the day. It may also be that, because you\u2019re receptive to energy that doesn\u2019t belong to you at night, you\u2019re bothered by the \u2018noise\u2019 around you. This scent frequency ensures you go to sleep feeling energetically cleansed, protected and grounded. As a result, you\u2019ll notice a greater sense of calm, so it\u2019s also lovely to use as a room spray in your bedroom!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t get to sleep and your thoughts are racing! This scent frequency always makes me feel really happy. It\u2019s something you can always use in a busy family. Whether it\u2019s for yourself or for the children who are worrying about their day at school, just give the bedroom and your energy field a quick spritz and you\u2019ll notice the energy settling down. Out of your head, back to basics. It\u2019s lovely to have that peace of mind!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Are you curious about the scents in the Lekker Slapen range but not quite sure which one to choose? We\u2019ve got a lovely Theme: Bag Sleep<\/a> which contains 5 different scents. This way, you can try them out and see which scent suits you best. It also makes a lovely gift for someone you know who has trouble sleeping\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as the seven fragrance variants, there is one more fragrance that we only sell as a spray, the Pillow Mist<\/a>. This spray is a lovely way to freshen up your bed linen and creates a calming atmosphere in the bedroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crystals to help you sleep well<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As well as scent frequencies, you can also make use of the energy of crystals. There are many crystals with the right energy to help you sleep well. But there are also crystals that can help with nightmares and other sleep disturbances \ud83d\ude09. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Amethyst<\/a> is a wonderful stone to place on your bedside table. The energy of this stone helps you to let go of tension, bringing peace of mind. It helps to calm those racing thoughts. You could, of course, place a lovely chunk of amethyst on your bedside table, but you might also consider a slightly smaller and flatter one little stone<\/a> to put in your pillow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you find that you need to recover better after a day\u2019s work, or achieve greater balance in your body? Then why not create a lovely Rock crystal<\/a> next to your bed. This stone stimulates the body\u2019s self-healing powers and supports the immune system. I personally sleep wonderfully between two rock crystal points<\/a> in. One is placed with the tip pointing downwards under my pillow and the other with the tip pointing upwards at the foot of my bed. That way, I lie comfortably all night long, bathed in the energy of this wonderful crystal. Whenever I feel I need to \u2018release\u2019 some energy, I turn the lower point downwards so that the energy can flow through me and all the negative energy is drained away. I also use the stones in this way when I\u2019m not feeling quite myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you\u2019re still awake after reading this massive chunk of text \ud83d\ude09. And of course, I hope you\u2019ve found some inspiration to sleep even better! Sleep well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
