When your body get a good, restful night’s sleep, it functions better. It’s simple really. You need sleep. And when you don’t get it, you notice. The day drags on, your brain gets foggy, you’re irritable – it’s never a good situation. For those of us that struggle with insomnia or just generally have a harder time calming the mind and actually falling asleep, these natural remedies may just help.
3 ways to get a deeper night’s sleep
Now, no tea or night time routine by itself is going to change the course of your sleep patterns forever. But, with that being said, there are definitely some knobs that you can turn which will set you up for success when it comes time to cut out the lights and get some shut eye.
1. Develop a consistent bedtime routine and stick to it
Our bodies crave rhythms. One of the most important things you can do to help your body get a deep sleep every night is to develop a night time routine and stay consistent with it. For example, try to get into bed at the same time every night. Read a book for 20 minutes before you actually try to fall asleep. CBD tinctures and other CBD products are often used to calm the nerves and get your body into a state of relaxation.
2. Avoid blue light and unnatural lighting for at least an hour
Blue lights like TV and phone screens mimic early morning light and confuse our bodies, making them think it’s day time. Stop looking at blue lights like the TV and the cell phone screen after a certain time of night to help your body reach it’s natural state of relaxation.
3. Try drinking a calming tea for sleep
For centuries, people have turned to brewing natural teas to help with all kinds of ailments including inducing a more restful, deep sleep. So it makes sense that our natural remedies for a more deep sleep mainly include different types of tea. From chamomile tea to soothe an upset stomach, to tea made from the leaves of peppermint to calm the nerves, sipping on a cup of some warm tea can definitely seem a bit therapeutic, but what about tea for sleep?
If you’re looking for a CBD-infused tea to help with sleep, we’ve got just what you need: Willie’s Remedy CBD Tea. Any product promoted by such an iconic name is bound to be intriguing, but how does this tea really help you get the much-needed rest you’re looking for? Here is a closer look at some of the ingredients beyond CBD (cannabidiol) in Willie’s Remedy teas that will get you ready for sweet dreams.
Organic chamomile: natures ancient bedtime remedy
Chamomile is a small, delicate flower that grows naturally in almost every corner of the planet, and this little flower gets your mind and body ready for sleep. For centuries, chamomile has been used to help soothe anxiety and promote better sleep. Chamomile contains an antioxidant referred to as apigenin, which is thought to reduce anxiety and help you sleep by binding to certain neural receptors.
In a study published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine in 2017, chamomile was shown to significantly improve sleep quality among 60 elderly individuals. Therefore, having a nice warm cup of Willie’s Remedy Chamomile CBD Tea before bed may help you settle down and have a more restful night.
Green tea leaves: the sleep-promoting tea with theanine
Green tea is commonly known to be helpful for those seeking natural health benefits. Green tea leaves are derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, which is chock-full of all kinds of goodies for the body, such as antioxidant catechins and amino acids. One of the most noteworthy amino acids for sleep is theanine, which may:
- Support the functions of your brain
- Aid in stress reduction
- Help you relax
Even though green tea also contains a small amount of caffeine, the theanine in green tea may actually counteract the caffeine to some degree. Theanine actually works by encouraging your mind to relax, reducing neural excitement, and causing a reduction in stress hormones. Having Willie’s Remedy Classic Green Tea with CBD in the evening may help you out if you’ve had a stressful day and need to unwind for bed.
Peppermint leaves: a natural relaxant for the sleep-deprived
Peppermint is a recognizable, familiar flavor with its crisp coolness and flavor qualities. Peppermint plants are actually a watermint/spearmint cross that hails from the Asian and European continents. Even though peppermint tea is most commonly affiliated with soothing digestion issues, peppermint may also be good if you have problems falling asleep.
For one, peppermint tea is naturally free of caffeine, but the plant itself is also well-noted as a muscle relaxant. This muscle-relaxant effect may help your body relax before you head off to bed, especially if you have tension-related physical ailments that could keep you awake. For example, peppermint tea may help relax your reproductive system when you are suffering from menstrual cramps.
Another note about peppermint tea that could mean easier sleep: Peppermint can help you breathe a bit easier if you deal with sinus congestion at bedtime. If you are congested, feeling tense, and need sleep, try incorporating a steamy cup of Willie’s Remedy CBD Peppermint Tea into your bedtime routine.
