Going back to school is daunting for many reasons. While we all know that quality sleep is essential to childrenβs success at school, for parents, one of the most difficult adjustments at the beginning of the school year is re-establishing a bedtime routine and earlier bedtimes for their children.
The 4th of July is a great day to spend with friends and family, but if you are a light sleeper the fireworks that go on well into the night can cause a lot of stress. The summer also brings with it additional noises like those from thunderstorms that can affect your sleep. For sensitive sleepers, noise can be one of the biggest obstacles to a good nightβs sleep β even when the source of the noise is understandable.
A good nightβs sleep starts with a comfortable pillow. The type we use, whether itβs feather, down, memory foam, or something else, contributes to our physical and mental health. However, waking up refreshed, without neck pain, and without a stuffy nose, every morning can be tied to the type of pillow filling you use. This is why we love organic latex pillows.
Are you spending more time trying to fall asleep rather than actually sleeping? Youβre not alone. Just the act of trying too hard can cause (or continue) a cycle of anxious, nerve-wracking energy that keeps our minds awake.
Poor sleep can have negative effects on many parts of your body and brain, including learning, memory, mood, emotions, and various biological functions. Simple lifestyle changes can make a world of difference to your quality of sleep.
