Day 1-3: Setting the Foundation
Day 1: Create Your Sleep Sanctuary
- Declutter Your Bedroom: Remove unnecessary items to create a calming and clutter-free environment. A tidy space can help clear your mind and prepare you for rest.
- Use Pillow Mist: Spritz our Pillow Mist on your pillow and bed linens. Its soothing aroma will help create a relaxing atmosphere conducive to sleep.
- Deep Breathing Exercises: Practice deep breathing exercises such as diaphragmatic breathing. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth. This helps reduce stress and promotes relaxation.
Day 2: Establish a Consistent Sleep Schedule
- Set a Regular Sleep Schedule: Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Consistency reinforces your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
- Apply Sensorial Balm: Rub our Sensorial Balm onto your pulse points, such as your wrists and temples. The calming scent will help ease you into sleep.
Day 3: Mindful Journaling
- Journal Your Thoughts: Spend 10 minutes before bed writing down your thoughts and reflections. This practice can help clear your mind and reduce anxiety.
- Focus on Gratitude: Write down positive events or things you’re grateful for from your day. This shifts your mindset towards positivity, making it easier to relax and fall asleep.
Day 4-7: Deepening the Routine
Day 4: Evening Wind-Down Ritual
- Create a Pre-Sleep Routine: Develop a routine that signals to your body it's time to wind down. This can include dimming the lights, turning off electronic devices, and reading a book.
- Use Facial Oil: Incorporate our Facial Oil into your night time skincare routine. It nourishes your skin while its calming scent helps signal to your body that it’s time to rest.
Day 5: Gratitude Practice
- Nightly Gratitude Journal: Each night, write down three things you’re grateful for. This practice promotes a positive mindset and can improve your overall well-being.
- Pillow Mist Application: Continue to use our Pillow Mist to enhance your relaxation and help you drift off to sleep.
Day 6: Gentle Stretching
- Stretch Before Bed: Spend five minutes doing gentle stretches to release tension from your body. Focus on areas that carry the most stress, such as your neck and shoulders.
- Apply Sensorial Balm: Use our Sensorial Balm to complement your stretching routine. The soothing scent will help you relax even further.
Day 7: Digital Detox
- Limit Screen Time: Avoid electronic devices at least one hour before bed. The blue light emitted by screens can interfere with your body’s production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.
- Alternative Activities: Engage in activities such as reading a book, listening to calming music, or practicing meditation instead of using electronic devices.
Day 8-11: Enhancing Sleep Quality
Day 8: Visualisation Techniques
- Peaceful Visualisation: Before sleep, close your eyes and visualize a serene place, such as a beach or a forest. Imagine yourself there, experiencing the sights, sounds, and sensations.
- Enhance with Pillow Mist: Spritz our Pillow Mist to heighten the calming effect of your visualization practice.
Day 9: Aromatherapy Bath
- Relaxing Bath: Take a warm bath infused with a few drops of essential oils, such as lavender or chamomile, to unwind your body and mind.
- Facial Oil Application: After your bath, apply our Facial Oil to keep your skin hydrated and to continue promoting relaxation.
Day 10: Progressive Muscle Relaxation
- Relax Your Muscles: Practice progressive muscle relaxation by tensing and then slowly relaxing each muscle group from head to toe. This technique can reduce physical tension and stress.
- Use Sensorial Balm: Apply our Sensorial Balm before bed to enhance the relaxation effect and help you sleep more soundly.
Day 11: Nature Sounds
- Soothing Sounds: Listen to nature sounds or white noise to create a calming auditory environment. These sounds can help mask disruptive noises and promote deeper sleep.
- Complement with Pillow Mist: Continue using our Pillow Mist to complement the soothing sounds and enhance your sleep environment.
Day 12-14: Solidifying Your Routine
Day 12: Breath Work
- Deep Breathing Techniques: Practice deep breathing exercises, such as the 4-7-8 technique. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds. This helps calm your nervous system and prepare you for sleep.
- Apply Facial Oil: Incorporate our Facial Oil into your nighttime routine to signal to your body that it’s time to wind down.
Day 13: Reflective Journaling
- Reflect on Your Journey: Spend a few minutes reflecting on your sleep journey and any improvements you’ve noticed. This can help reinforce positive habits and identify areas for further improvement.
- Continue Using Sensorial Balm: Maintain your relaxation practice by applying our Sensorial Balm before bed.
Day 14: Celebrate and Continue
- Celebrate Your Progress: Acknowledge the positive changes you’ve made over the past two weeks. Reward yourself for your commitment to better sleep.
