August 14, 20235 Tips to Sleep Soundly
Today we offer up 5 tips to Sleep Soundly this Fall. Sleeping sometimes isn’t easy. In today’s day and age everything is go-go-go and things are happening 24/7. The Internet is full of new and innovative ways to improve different aspects of your life. Whether you’re looking to figure out a more effective morning routine, a better strategy to stay focused or even maximizing on the amount of rest you get each day, there are as many options as there are people. Today, our team wants to focus on sleeping patterns, sleeping effectiveness, and routines that can truly improve your quality of life through proper sleep cycles.
Set a Schedule
Sleeping in on the weekends is all good and fine, however, consistently sleeping well past 8 hours has been shown to truly decline overall health. Check out some research on oversleeping here. We know – it can really be a pain getting up in the morning. Most of us have our alarm clock set, and we snooze an extra 5-10 minutes.
That’s not always a good thing to do. In fact, most research suggests that when you wake up, you should just get up and start your day. Keep in mind that not only are you helping your body form a routine with your sleeping cycles – you’re also going to need to train your body to wake up at the appropriate time. Getting into a daily routine and pattern not only assists with the natural flow of your body, but it helps prevent long term health problems that you may face due to poor sleeping habits.
Keeping it Natural
When turning to natural alternatives to make improvements in any aspect of your life, the possibilities are virtually infinite. Let’s focus on different ways that you can optimize your sleep, rejuvenating yourself even more so for the day to come. And as many of you know, Infinite CBD offers a Relax formulation that is a melatonin-based CBD formula. Relax Formulas are available in different delivery methods, quantities, and CBD amounts. OPur Relax products are truly a natural way to turn your sleeping schedule into a meaningful one, we want to offer insight on two other options – meditation and sleeping positions.
Sleep Meditation
Sleep meditation is arguably one of the most personally-catered experiences when it comes to an effective sleep regimen. There are so many different ways to make sleep meditation work best for you. There are some things you should consider when beginning to build your sleep ritual. Soothing sounds like white noise or nature playlists are available on a plethora of totally free applications on smartphones around the globe. When choosing music, many meditation coaches will suggest choosing music without any lyrics as to not disturb the person trying to meditate.
Think of classical music or any other calm and rhythmic sounds. Truly, yoga sounds and playlists work perfectly for nearly every meditation. Also consider aromas! Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils and scents to accent a meditation purely for its common properties. If a scent reminds you of a positive memory, go with that! There is truly no right or wrong here as long as you are comfortable.
Sleeping Positions
Sleeping positions are one of the more obvious things that can keep us up at night. Everyone has been there, tossing and turning throughout the evening trying to find comfort to finally fall asleep. Unfortunately, this is never an easy process. Your body inherently loves routines. So, if you can find one meaningful comfortable position, your body can teach itself that when in the position you’ve chosen it is time to go to bed. Classical conditioning for the win once again. One of the more popular studies hosted by WebMD shows that sleeping on your side with a nearly straight spine can help you avoid sleep apnea and related symptoms to sleep apnea.
While this may not be a naturally comfortable position for some it is worth giving a shot. Keep in mind, circulation truly helps the body with every function, including sleep. So if you are able to find a sleeping position that makes you comfortable that does not involve any type of contortion, you literally give your body the opportunity to flow naturally and get your cycles into a comfortable rhythm.
Give CBD a Try
We have a solution that hits close to home. Adding CBD into your routine could truly make changes for the better. This is why we recommend customers read our CBD 101 blog – to help understand fully.

When we take supplemental melatonin we give our brain a boost to help us fall asleep.
As we mentioned before, one of the most important things you can do for sleep is set up a routine. our Relax products truly take your routine to the next level. Moreover, these can also help you start building your routine and get in the repetition of things. Many of our customers to utilize this product recommend taking one a night before bed on a consistent basis. Not only does this help them ease into sleep, but it also trains their body to start preparing for bed when taking a supplement. Once again, classical conditioning for the win. The routine is repetition – repetition is consistency – consistency brings results.
