Try to create a calm bedroom environment

• Your bedroom  should be for sleep only.
•  Avoid turning your bedroom into an entertainment centre with computers, televisions, and music.
• Two thirds of British children have a computer, games machine or TV in their bedroom and could be losing out on sleep as a result.
• Take care to keep light from outside to a minimum. Use blackout curtains if necessary.
• Look hard at your bedroom lighting . Having bright lights on in your bedroom when you are prearing fro sleep will just stimulate the brain. Low soft lights are best.
• Invest in the best bed you can afford. Beds do not last for ever and if your bed is over 10 years old you may need a replacement.
• Take care to find quality bed linen in a comfortable fabric that fits your bed. Bed Linen in Natural Fabrics like Pure Silk and 100% Bamboo are ideal.

There are a whole host of good advice from Between the Sheets about sleep. Check out more blogs about Sleep here and here.

Relief from eczema can be found by sleeping in Natural Bamboo Bed Linen. A  partner of an Eczema  sufferer writes:-

Eczema Relief with 100%  Bamboo Bed Linen

Temperature control, moist wicking and breathability is of great importance in this aspect. 100% Bamboo has proven to be the best fabric in all these aspects for the skin problems of H.   MB Germany

Exercise regularly to improve your Sleep.

·          A great way to improve your sleep is regular exercise. Just 20 minutes a day of moderate exercise daily such a brisk walking can make a real difference.  Make sure not to exercise  too close to bed time as exercise produces stimulants that stop the brain from relaxing.

·         Exercising first thing in the morning is an excellent way to wake up the body. Going for a brisk walk or a run, in fact any aerobic exercise will aid the body’s natural wake/sleep patterns.

·         Remember even a short walk daily can help!

Get your brain to relax!

Take time to relax before you go to bed. A bath or shower before you go to bed can be really useful.

Many sleep specialists suggest beathing excercises before sleep. Breathe, use your abdomen for deep breathing not your chest. Breathe in through your nose for three seconds, then breathe out for three seconds. Pause for three seconds before breathing in again. Try this for 5 minutes before settling to sleep.

Keep your bedroom well ventilated and some people find that a little olbas oil , lavender oil or other sweet smelling herb oils  oin the bedroom aid sleep.

Make sure that your bedroom is dark with the minimum amount of light from outside

Don’t lie in bed tossing and turning. Leave the bedroom and find something absorbing like jigsaws or reading and don’t go back to bed until you feel sleepy. Don’t watch television!

Some people find that massage or aromatherapy  helps in preparing the mind and body for sleep.
