What Sleep Deprivation Can Lead To
Now that’s sweet sleep! The kind that rests your body, mind and soul and makes all three function better.
A lack of sleep - even the mildest of sleep deprivation - has been proven to be at the root of some pretty nasty things:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Depression
- Impaired memory
- Anxiety
Not to mention the cranks. Nothing can make you a lemon puss quicker than not getting enough sleep.
If you have trouble getting to sleep, the answer may be easier than counting sheep. After 4 weeks of sleeping in a lavender-scented room, volunteers at the University of South Hampton (United Kingdom) said their sleep problems were cut by as much as half.
You can work lavender into your world in several ways:
- Use lavender-scented bath products. Unless you’re a macho guy - we don’t want the other studs laughing behind your back.
- Use lavender-scented fabric softener for your sheets, blankets, sleepwear, and pillow cases. Downey makes a great one that I use for our linens and sleepwear.
- Place a lavender bouquet or plant on your bedside table.
- Use a lavender room spray.
For love of all that’s reasonable, make sure you and those within nose-range aren’t allergic to lavender first.
Sweet dreams!
