Sleep Well Tips

Something we take for granted unless we have a restless night, perfecting our sleep patterns is an important skill to embrace. That’s why we’re celebrating the art of sleeping well this month, starting with our tips for a peaceful slumber.

Sleep schedule

A tricky one for those that like to sleep in on the weekends, it’s important to ensure you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, to allow your body to recognise a pattern and help you fall asleep quicker.

Caffeine break

No caffeine after 2pm, including your usual afternoon coffee. It can usually take up to 6 hours for caffeine to leave your body, which as we know will keep you awake.

Sunkissed

Key to informing our bodies it’s time to wake up, allow a few rays of sunlight to hit your body in the morning. This will allow your body to unwind in the evening, and save you from a restless slumber.

Get moving

Regular moderate exercise increases the amount of slow wave sleep you can get, which refers to deep sleep, where the body gets a chance to rejuvenate itself x

#wellnessedit part 3

For some, Sunday marks the end of a long week, a day to relax and unwind. For others it is a day to frantically prepare for the fast approaching week ahead. As you might have guessed, we embrace a glass half full approach to everything that we do, especially in-Spa. That’s why we’ve put together our top things to do every Sunday, to embrace a productive and positive start to the week.

SELF CARE Burn your favourite ASPAR or Aromatherapy Associates candle, have a mini pedi, and use a face mask. Putting time aside for yourself to unwind is the easiest way to put yourself in a positive mind-set for the coming week.

LAUNDRY You don’t need to do an entire load of washing on Sunday, however it is a great day to fold and put away your clothes, organise your closet, and plan your outfits for the coming week, to make mornings a little less stressful.

PLANNING Whether you’re an onto it planner already, or if you’re more of a scribbled note on multiple pieces of paper kind of person, write down your priorities for the week, including appointments (note to self, book in for your monthly MTS treatment) and events.

READ Take a moment to at least read a couple of pages of your favourite book, or if you’re not a novel kind of person, your favourite magazine or newspaper. The perfect way to broaden your horizons, or do a bit of self-development.

MEAL PREP Pop down to your grocery store, or take inventory of your freezer. Planning your meals for the week ensures you’ll never have to hear “what should we do for dinner” again!

Embrace the possibilities of an inspiring Sunday, to make way for a positive week ahead x
