When children don’t get the sleep they need, both physical and emotion development can be negatively affected. The necessity for regular, healthy sleeping patterns is apparent when one considers the serious difficulties and disorders caused by lack of sleep. Heading back to school with well rested kids will make for a smoother transition for all. 🙂
In our home our sleep has been impacted, for the better, by adding essential oils into our evening routine. The girls get sleep oils on their feet before bed and we diffuse in their room throughout the night. Then I use my own sleep blend, take Serenity softgels, and diffuse essential oils. This combination helps me fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up feeling like I slept deeper.
Below are ways you can use essential oils to promote restful sleep in your home.
