Gift of Better Sleep

You’ve heard it in the news. Americans don’t get enough sleep.

Arianna Huffington wrote a whole book about it called “The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time.”

She goes so far as to call it a “sleep deprivation crisis” and explains that it negatively affects our health, our job performance, our relationships and even our happiness.

Really, we should all make a New Year’s resolution to get more sleep this year.

That’s why a gift of “Better Sleep” makes a thoughtful gift!

With most people not making the time to get a full 8 hours of sleep at night, encouragement from someone to make sleep a priority would be a much welcomed gift.

“Get More Sleep” Gifts

Here are some gift ideas to help someone get more and better sleep:

• Ergonomic pillow
• Knee pillow cushion (must-have for side sleepers)
• Eye mask
• Essential oils for sleep and relax
• Essential oils diffuser
• Good Night or Sleep Ready sleep enhancing light bulb
  (low blue light allows for the production of the sleep hormone, melatonin, which supports your body’s natural circadian rhythm)
• Wireless activity and sleep tracker wristbands
• Sound + Sleep Machine
• Lavender bath salts or bath bombs
• Sleep and relax herbal teas
• Aromatherapy candles
• CD of relaxing sleep music
• Moisture-wicking bed sheets
• Mattress (pricey but so important to good sleep!)

You could even put together an entire Sleep Gift Basket. It would make the perfect gift for parents of little ones.
