Do you have trouble going to bed and staying asleep at night? A good night’s sleep is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle, and the foundation of the SWW Method. The steps leading up to bedtime are crucial to helping you get good, quality sleep. This is a time for you to calm your mind and set yourself up for success. Sarah shared her secrets for a good night’s sleep after a long day. These are science-backed ways for your best sleep yet.

Step 1: Use an Infrared Blanket or sauna (30-45 minutes)

The science

 

Step 2: Dry Brush and face oil (about 3 minutes)

The science

 

Step 3: Soak in a hot bath with Bath soak or Salt soak (about 5 minutes)

The science

  • Heat from a hot bath can stimulate the brain’s release of oxytocin (the anti-stress hormone) to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.

 

Step 4: Phones away!

The science

  • Emerging research has found that using smartphones (which emit blue light) at night, may have harmful effects on sleep, especially in relation to delayed melatonin secretion

 

Step 5: Legs up the wall with Lo Rox Domes (10 min)

The science

 

Step 6: Read a magazine or book, or watch TV 

The science

 

Step 7: Take a Green Compass Full Spectrum Gummies or Sleep Support, plus Adrenal Nourish as needed

The science

 

Step 8: Mineralize

The science

  • The magnesium glycinate in our SWW™ Restore will help you fall asleep and STAY asleep. 

Step 9: Light’s out

The science

  • Researchers say that 10pm is the most optimal bedtime, with benefits like lowered risk of cardiovascular disease. We know that everyone has different needs when it comes to sleep—so 10pm might not work for some. Most importantly, aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
