Did you know that 8% of Americans take a doctor prescribed sleep aid? Did you know about 10% of Americans take an OTC sleep aid? Did you know that after time synthetic sleep aids quit working? Did you also know that 11% of Americans are sleep deprived? And those between the age of 45-54 are the most sleep deprived. In working with Young Living my biggest inquiry is if oils help with depression. And my second biggest inquiry is if essential oils help with sleep. I believe that deression and lack of sleep go hand in hand.
Last Sunday I woke up about 8:30 a.m.. I was so tired I did not try to go to church. In fact I fell back to sleep and slept till 10:30 a.m. I woke up and grabbed my phone to watch what was left of the church service. By 2:00 I was so tired I told Glenn I was going back to bed. Now I am stlll recovering from surgery and after sleeping so much that day, I realized my body just needed to sleep. But how often do we rest when we need to? I have a friend who tells me all the time when you are sick to rest and sleep. That It is the best medicine. How many of you go to work, exercise, cook, clean, mow the lawn, etc. when you are sleep deprived? How many of you sleep well now?
I ask this because I am in the process of helping someone with oils for sleep. We are trying different combinations. I have 2 oils I use to help with sleep. But we have many oils and supplements that help with sleep. Please let me know if I can help you finding a natural alternative to sleep. Your body will appreciate it.
In the meantime work on staying hydrated, avoid caffeine, exercise, stay cool, and turn the lights out. These are some natural activities that will help fall asleep. When all these do not work please give me a call and try to get some rest!
