A large part of living a healthy lifestyle is getting enough sleep to benefit both your mind and body. Without sleep, you cannot think and function properly. Sleep allows your brain to process information and work areas of the brain that increase creativity and vision. When you rest, you allow your energy to be restored and your immune system to fight infection. Without it, you can experience more pain, which drains more energy. People who get 7-9 hours of sleep a night have an easier time maintaining weight. They are less likely to grab a late night snack and have sufficient energy to work out with increased endurance. Overall, sleep is beneficial in many different ways. Listed below are 5 natural remedies to try for a better night’s rest.

Lavender is an essential oil that carries relaxing effects. Place a drop in a warm bath or on your pillow to trigger your body for rest.

Meditation can help to slow breathing and reduce the release of stress hormones. When done before bed, it can help to eliminate distractions that may interrupt sleep. Mindfulness meditation and visualization are two methods that are both effective in relaxation.

Magnesium has a natural sedative that aids in sleep. You can find magnesium in almonds, cashews, green leafy vegetables, and whole grains.

Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the biological clock. Taking a supplement two hours before bed will help in falling, and staying asleep.

Bedrooms should only be used for sleep. Avoid working, eating, or watching TV in your bedroom.

Don’t put your health at risk because you are unable to sleep! Try these methods and allow your body to get the rest it needs. Contact Omni Medical for your heath and comfort products and services today!
