How long has it been since you have had deep sleep?
Have you ever thought about trying Essential Oils for deep sleep? There are different factors that can interfere with deep sleep as well as different essential oils that can be used to help. My children and I recently figured out one of the interfering factors of deep sleep. We also figured out a remedy for the situation for them. Hopefully you will be empowered to explore why you aren’t receiving a deep sleep and how you can receive the deep sleep you need.
Warm Weather
A couple of days ago we had some wonderfully warm weather here, in North Carolina. My girls and I were outside jump roping and roller blading, getting some needed exercise. Vitamin D was being soaked in by our bodies as the sun shone down upon us. Exercise and vitamin intake are two keys to help keep you healthy, so we got those checked off our list. By getting enough exercise, you also help your body to be able to sleep well. It didn’t cool off much at night which kept it a little warm in the upstairs of our townhouse. Being a pretty frugal person, I keep the thermostat more on the extreme sides.
Previous Essential Oil Use
Since I kept hearing my girls toss and turn and get up, I knew they hadn’t slept well for two nights. Before going to bed the third night, I asked my 15 year old if she wanted a dōTERRA Serenity® Restful Complex Softgel to help her sleep. She had taken them before because she can have difficulty sleeping. She doesn’t always like to use essential oils for deep sleep or other issues, although they have proven to work for her time and time again! So, I wasn’t sure what her answer was going to be.
Before she actually said, “Yes”, my eleven year old, who hadn’t taken these before, said she wanted one. I was a little curious how they would affect her, as she is rather petite. She and I typically put a drop of dōTERRA Serenity® Essential Oil on before we go to bed, so she regularly uses a form of Serenity. (You can read more about why & where we put it on another post coming soon.) She also takes other doTERRA essential oils internally for seasonal threats which helps her immensely, so why not give it a try. (Another post will be coming with this information, as well!)
We also use Serenity Essential Oil in their diffuser every night. Depending on our supply, I use 1-3 drops. I also usually put in 2 drops of OnGuard. I want to get rid of as many germs as possible and allow them to sleep breathing in clean air!
Results of Essential Oils for Deep Sleep
The next morning, I asked the girls how they slept. My oldest said she slept so well that she didn’t want to get out of bed. My youngest said she slept “GREAT”, as well! I could tell a difference in their mood that day. When we actually receive the amount of sleep our body needs, we function so much better in every area of our lives!
Temperature is one factor that can affect our sleep. If it’s too hot, they don’t sleep very well. We found that doTERRA Serenity Softgels are a form of essential oil for deep sleep for my children! Turning the air down a degree or two might be worth it for them to sleep, as well.
Thankful for doTERRA and Essential Oils
I am so thankful to be empowered with doTERRA Essential Oils! I am armed with whatever I need for any day! I can pull some “tool” out for just about any situation! Be on the lookout for a post on the difference between doTERRA essential oils and other essential oils.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if you have had a positive experience from Serenity Softgels, as well!
There is also a combo of Serenity Essential Oil and Serenity Softgels., as well as doTERRA Spa Serenity Bath Bar so you can calm your mind in the shower or bath.
