Have summer temperatures made you too hot to sleep?

 

As sleep is the pillar of our wellbeing, we must prioritise it more than ever during the months where sleeping may pose as a difficulty. 

Not only is sleep important for our daily functioning, but it also has many systemic health benefits. Sleep helps control our metabolism, promotes stable moods and emotions, boosts our immune system, increases knowledge retention, and helps us with long and short-term memory.

Follow these expert sensory techniques for for staying cool on balmy summer nights...

Regulate Your Body Temperature with a Blissful Bath

Increasing skin temperature can help lower your core body temperature before bed.

Warming your skin accelerates internal heat loss and allows for the swift release of body heat, promoting a relaxed mind and body.  

So, a few hours before you go to bed, run a hot bath or shower with our Deep Relax Bath & Shower Oil, applying all over your body before stepping in your tub.

This allows the essential oil blend to be absorbed via the hair follicle and can have lasting effects on the mind and body for up to 8 hours!

Formulated with our lulling essential oil blend of earthy Vetivert, soothing Camomile and comforting Sandalwood, to complement your soak and calm your body even further. 

Create an Evening Scentscape 

Since our sense of smell have a direct connection to our mind and body, practice Sensory Scent-scaping by helping your mind associate a specific aroma with sleep.

Whether you're drawn to our De-Stress Pure Essential Oil Blend to calm a racing mind before bed, or our Rose Pure Essential Oil Blend to uplift a downcast mind to clear your head for sleep, we recommend our Deep Relax Pure Essential Oil Blend.

Insert into our waterless, wireless and heatless diffusers The Atomiser or Atomiser Connect, 30 minutes before bed.

By only using the Deep Relax Pure Essential Oil Blend.  in your bedroom, this signals your brain to unwind from the day as soon as you step into the room, enveloped with it's woody, grounding aromas.

Fun-Fact: Vetivert was historically used in India to cool and fragrance the home. Roots were weaved into window screens so that the outdoor breeze would help the scent travel throughout each room. 

Invest in a Pillow Mist

When creating a sleep-inducing environment during the summer, comfort – whether that’s your bedding or pyjamas – plays a large part in getting a good night’s sleep.

To further enhance your bedtime experience, mist our Deep Relax Sleep Mist over your bedding, pillows and nightwear, filling the air with our specially formulated blend to help you drift off naturally and sleep undisturbed till the morning.

Sleep Naked 

According to a recent study by Mela, only 22.7% of the nation sleep naked - however, sleeping in the nude comes with a host of benefits for your mind and body, including better sleep quality and improvement to your mental and physical health.

So your body is kept at a cool temperature, especially during summer months, Mela encourages sleeping as nature intended - shedding layers of clothing will instantly lower body temperature, acting as a biological cue for sleep and making it easier for your body to regulate temperature all through the night. 

Overheating can also cause sweating, which can lead to blocked pores and heat rash. Too many layers can aggravate skin, so with zero clothes you can help eliminate heat and friction and help your skin breathe.
