Healthy Living Includes Better Sleep Habits 

Thousands of individuals have poor nightly sleep, making them feel fatigued and grumpy each day. A continual lack of sleep can lead to medical problems, including having high blood pressure or depression. With better sleep habits, you can reduce anxiety that leads to nausea and headaches. First, you must determine if you are doing something that causes insomnia or sleep disturbances, including:  · Drinking caffeinated or alcoholic beverages  · Exercising right before bedtime  · Keeping electronic devices turned on in your bedroom  · Sleeping on an old mattress  · Having a bedroom that is too hot or too cold In addition to creating a relaxing environment in your bedroom, you can visit a day spa to enjoy massage therapy that will soothe away the tension from your body's muscles and tendons while also eliminating the anxiety from your mind. When you request bodywork from a licensed massage therapist, make sure to discuss your needs for soothing treatments that will encourage sleep. 

Request Soothing Massage Therapy 

A licensed massage therapist is trained in other aspects of healthy living such as offering spa products that you can use at home to help you relax at night. While having a massage, request the application of scented essential oils such as chamomile or lavender. Before you leave the spa, learn if you can buy spa products such as creams and soaps that you can use at home. 

Reduce Anxiety with a Foot Massage 

To have the best sleep at night, you need to relax your tense muscles, and it is important to care for your feet before going to bed. In addition to having a reflexology massage on your feet at a day spa, you can massage your own feet at home with the aromatic lotion that you bring home.
