No Substitute for Sleep

Have you ever been anxious about something that caused you to lose sleep? Recently I have been experiencing sleepless nights. I normally begin to unwind around 7:30pm and fall off to sleep about 8 – 8:30pm. Then my internal alarm goes off around 1:00am and can’t fall asleep for another 2 to 3 hours. It’s great that I fall back to sleep, but I need to get up at 5:00am to start my day. This causes me to need an extra shot of espresso in my coffee that gives me the false sense of being well rested. The cycle starts over again each night. So I decided to try over the counter sleep aids which gave me a hangover feel or foggy brain.

I was getting frustrated with the situation as was my hubby. He kindly reminded me of the products I purchased for him from Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy line. They have a few products that helps with sleep. The one I went with was Sleep Detoxify body wash and body lotion. The scent is Black Chamomile. It can be best described as a warm rich spa scent. The bottle says it contains Bamboo Charcoal extract that help detoxify before sleep while an aromatherapy blend of essential oils help you sleep well. So I decided to try the products in my evening shower routine.

The results was just what I needed. The aromatherapy relaxed my mind and body. And the essential oils helped me sleep through the night. The side effect of caffeine and sleep aid is eliminated with this product. I encourage you to try out their various products for sleep.
