Ahh… sleep. How many of us can truly say we get enough? According to a press release from the National Sleep Foundation (March 2, 2009), almost one-third (27%) of Americans are literally losing sleep over our current economy. The stresses of our modern lives often leave us shortchanged on sleep. Don’t let it happen to you! By creating the right conditions for sleep, you can give your body, mind and soul a much-needed reboot.
Aura Cacia Tranquility Bath Nothing relaxes like lighting some candles and sinking in to a warm bath before bedtime. Relax your body, calm your mind and soothe your spirit with this lovely blend which includes lavender, geranium and chamomile for sweet serenity. Available bubbly or in mineral salts.
Aromatherapy Aromatherapy soothes and supports the nervous system, and can be applied in many ways, including pre-sleep bath and massage. One effective method for promoting sleep is to put 1-2 drops of oil on a handkerchief, tissue or cotton ball and place it inside your pillowcase. As you sleep, the delicate aromas will gently “rock” you through the night. Lavender, geranium and clary sage are a few of the essential oils used to support healthy sleep.
Bucky Shades While aromatherapy scents are gently carrying you off to sleep, it’s time to apply the final touch to ensure deep restorative sleep—a 100% light-blocking eye mask. Soft and cushiony as a cloud laid over your eyes, you can shut out the worries of your daily life. Earplugs included!

Enzymatic Therapy Sleep Tonight! Stress revs up our bodies and minds, and often keeps them in high gear long after bedtime, so that our nights are spent worrying and rehashing our day instead of getting good sleep and replenishing our energy. This valerian-free formula focuses on maintaining healthy cortisol levels. A good day starts with a good night’s sleep, so start your tomorrow right by getting some Sleep Tonight!
Peter Gillham’s Natural Calm Plus Calcium It’s hard to sleep when our nerves are shot and our muscles tensed. Calcium and magnesium are two minerals which are fundamental in supporting healthy nerves and muscle tone. This supplemental powder is simply enjoyed in water, allowing immediate uptake by your body, and includes vitamin D, promoting maximum assimilation of the calcium.
