Comparing YL Sleep Solutions
When it comes to sleep, do you wish you had more quality hours of rest per night? Do you wake up tired, or need 3 cups of coffee to get you going in the morning? How about that slump in energy partway through the afternoon? The quality of sleep you get at night literally effects all 24 hours in your day.
I know for a fact that sleep is one of the necessities of life that I do not skimp on. I’m an 8 hour a night kind of gal. If I can get more, I will.
If you’re like, “I wish I could just get 4-6 good hours of sleep per night”, then we need to talk!
Likewise, if you wake up in the middle of the night and can’t go back to sleep, there are a few leading causes for the “wide eyed 3am-ers”.
Sleep deprivation is a crisis in America. Whether poor sleep is a result of long working hours, stress, anxiety, or being a parent with young children, the struggle is real. Over time, signs of sleep deprivation can become more serious and can increase your likelihood of stroke, depression, and automobile accidents.[1] Lack of sleep leads to less productive work hours, the need for a midday nap, and pure crankiness. Think “unexplainable mood swings”. Yes, those ugly, moody hours of the day could be brought on by a lack of sleep, as well as things like poor nutrition and hormonal imbalance.
So I’m here to bring solutions!
During the 27 years of using Young Living’s products, I’ve discovered several things that work for me and even more things that have worked really well for my clients.
Young Living has a wide variety of essential oils, oil blends and supplement products that support a good night sleep. Today I’m going to narrow it down and mention the top four, along with their uses.
Before we get started, I want you to keep in mind any family members and friends who come to mind. You just never know how big of a blessing can be by sharing simple solutions. Getting a good night sleep and being able to wind down and relax are truly game-changers.
