The body's healing processes happen when there is silence.
Sleep and rest are super important for the body's cleansing and healing processes. When awake, the body is busy with action, digestion, and activity.
In a state of stress, the body is busy surviving,
Only in a state of deep rest and sleep does the body have time to absorb the good and eliminate the bad. It has time to repair and heal what requires healing.
Sleep
During sleep, a magical process of unification occurs,
We unite with the forces of creation, and the healing process is enabled. While sleeping, we absorb the goodness we received that day.
And the body removes the toxins. Therefore, any detox process or cleansing of toxins requires quality sleep.
Recently, researchers and doctors (functional medicine) have been combining healing methods (mainly talking about eating, sleeping, relaxation, movement)
and give sleep critical importance Like the food we eat!
Maimonides, the great physician who lived more than 800 years ago, said that it is desirable that a third of the day (8 hours) be devoted to sleep!
In our society, it's almost a shame to sleep. We are expected to, and we give ourselves a huge amount of sleep.
The flow of information and tasks is dizzying and causes us to function under almost constant stress.
Therefore, this is something that is important to remind ourselves and find ways to go to bed early even if there is still something to do...
relaxation
It is so important to stop for times of relaxation. In fact, these are times of beloved and quiet activities - prayer and contemplation, yoga, sitting in nature, meditation, painting, knitting...
Everyone does what is closest to their heart. This is important for our soul and necessary for the body. This relaxation allows us to regain balance.
Sleep is measured in both quantity and quality. To achieve quality sleep, you should pay attention to a few points-
* digital detox -
Letting digital devices sleep at night... The light from digital devices is called blue light, it has a great effect on our brain.
And makes him alert. It is very useful to lower the brightness of the screens in the evening and put the smartphone aside.
At least an hour before going to bed.
This will calm the mind, and us too.
Additionally, to avoid radiation, it is highly advisable to turn off the phone at night or put it on airplane mode.
* Darkness in the bedroom
The hormonal system, especially of women, is greatly affected by light and darkness.
There are healthy hormonal processes that only occur in complete darkness.
To get deep, quality sleep, you should make sure your bedroom is dark.
*Inner silence
Disturbing thoughts interfere with quality sleep.
I highly recommend taking a few minutes in the evening before going to bed and writing down your open tasks in a notebook.
Our brain is like a computer - the more 'open windows' there are
It's harder for a computer to shut down.
If the brain knows that everything is written down and we will get to deal with it tomorrow, it will be easier for it to let go.
Tips for good sleep -
*A relaxing bath at the end of the day
The water is so pleasant, relaxing and calming at the end of the day and allows for a good night's sleep.
To make a soothing bath salt-
Glass jar
Atlantic salt or Himalayan salt
50 drops of lavender essential oil for every 100 grams of salt
*A great and relaxing addition - if you can get it - is magnesium flakes in the form of magnesium chloride.
* A free, clean, and tidy bedroom. Everything is more pleasant when our surroundings are pleasant.
*r escue remedy nigh t Bach flower essence that can be bought at pharmacies
Soothes and relaxes thoughts. Very suitable for restful, quality sleep when it is difficult to sleep.
*Lavender
A wonderful and relaxing essential oil. You can add 3 drops to your bath, apply lavender body oil, or put 3 drops in a burner in the bedroom.
*Early bedtime - The optimal hours for quality sleep are early in the night.
A few hours after sunset, so it's best to go to bed early.
* It is a good idea to finish eating a few hours before going to bed.
To avoid sleeping on a full stomach and allow the body to focus on absorption and cleansing rather than digestion.
You can drink herbal tea without sugar. Chamomile tea is particularly soothing and supports restful sleep.
There's always a lot to do, but don't compromise on your sleep. You'll feel great and your skin will thank you.
They don't just say beauty sleep.
