Some sound sleep advice

Not everyone really puts that much thought into exactly how long they want to be asleep in bed for.
But, perhaps especially when you're working every day, you can find yourself setting a target for how many hours you want to be snoozing for!
Premier Inn reported last year that on average Brits want to sleep for seven hours a night. However, more than three quarters of its survey sample said they don't actually get this amount of shut-eye.
If you feel you need to do something about getting better kip, there is always help at hand.
"Everyone is different and has their own personal preferences, but there are some common factors that can affect all of us when it comes to sleep," expert Dr Dan Robotham explained in 2011.
The Mental Health Foundation senior research officer recommended eye masks as an option to try for people who are finding their room isn't dark enough for them.
Ear plugs, on the other hand, were recommended for people dealing with loud noise to try using.
"If you’re finding it difficult to get to sleep, try getting up for a while until you feel sleepier, rather than lying in bed and worrying about the fact you aren’t managing to sleep," he also suggested.
People should also avoid caffeine during the latter part of the day, as well as eating a lot late at night.
He said that though people's sleep could be improved though exercising – and that they could cut down on anxiety and relieve stressful feelings by doing this – they shouldn't exercise during the late evening.
"The adrenaline that your body produces when you exercise can make it more difficult to get to sleep," the expert explained.
People suffering from mental health issues like depression or anxiety might find their sleep is affected by these, he added.
"It is important to speak with your GP about a combined approach that tackles both the mental health issue and the sleep problem," he told people in this position.

- The Great Pomegranate Seed Oil Jan 15, 2021Hi Kianouche, Thank you for your message. I would recommend to mix pomegranate oil with Marula oil for what you are looking to treat. A few drops of antioxidant-rich Marula oil mixed with Pomegranate oil can boost efficacy and help restore your skin’s functions in perfect equilibrium. Long term use may visibly minimise pores, brighten the skin, protect it from the oxidative damage caused by pollution, tones down pigmentation and assists with scar tissue healing. Hope this helps :)
- The Great Pomegranate Seed Oil Jan 15, 2021Hi I’ve bought some of your pomegranate oil, together with rosehip and marula oils. Which of the other two oils would be better to mix with pomegranate oil for mature skin with hyperpigmentation due to sun damage and sometimes prone to spots and milia when using rich moisturisers. Also, can I use pomegranate oil by itself or combined with either of the other two oils around my eyes

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 14, 2021Hi Dolores, thank you for your message!Ashwagandha is an adaptogen so will adapt to your own bodies rhythm. It is a powerful way to regulate energy levels through the day so in some people may boost circulation and cell activity, which is why you may find yourself with insomnia. Everyone is unique and different, so will react to herbs and remedies differently. As you are using bio-identical hormones, I would advise you check with your GP, as there are often interferences with herbs. Perhaps you should try taking your Ashwagandha in the morning to regulate your bodies rhythm through the day.
