Linn's best tips for your best sleep yet
Sleep is more than rest – it’s the body’s most powerful form of recovery. Yet finding peace in the evening can be challenging. By slowing your heart rate, calming your nervous system, and creating a calming evening routine, you can help promote deeper, more restful sleep.
Linn shares her best sleep tips to help you fall asleep faster, sleep better and wake up with more energy, glow and balance.
Calm the nervous system – the most important thing for good sleep
To fall asleep quickly and sleep well through the night, it's crucial to relax your body and mind. No matter how busy you've been during the day, you should give yourself time to wind down.
An easy way to do this is through soothing massage, breathing techniques, or a gentle yoga session before bedtime.
Take a warm shower – and use soothing products
A warm shower a few hours before bed can help your body regulate its temperature and prepare for sleep. After your shower, massage in Potion of Peace Oil , which contains natural plant oils with calming properties.
Then make yourself a cup of Potion of Peace herbal tea . The tea blend is formulated to promote relaxation and help prepare you for a good night's sleep.
Potion Of Peace - Organic tea
"A new favorite with us! This tea has become part of my evening routine. A cup of tea before bed, and I feel relaxed, and I also feel like my sleep is getting better. Very good taste too, and I appreciate that the ingredients are organic!"

Massage of hands for total relaxation
Our hands carry a lot of tension throughout the day. A simple but effective way to calm down is to give yourself a little hand massage with a calming oil, like Potion of Peace Oil . This activates your body's parasympathetic nervous system, which helps you enter rest mode.
Finish by applying Herbal Rain Hand & Body Cream . The cream contains Lavandin, which with its soothing properties and relaxing scent provides extra peace and well-being.
Foot bath with oil – perfect alternative to a bathtub
Don't have a bathtub? Try a warm foot bath with a few drops of Potion of Peace oil or therapeutic Black Pepper Balm - perfect for relieving tension and sore muscles.
This is a simple but effective way to calm your body before bed. The feet have many nerve endings that can affect the rest of the body, and a warm foot bath can help lower your heart rate and have a relaxing effect.
Natural nutrients for better sleep
Both kiwi and magnesium can help improve sleep quality. Kiwi contains serotonin, which is converted into melatonin in the body – the sleep hormone that helps us fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply.
Magnesium is a mineral that helps the body relax. Magnesium glycinate in particular is known for its calming effect.
"As part of my evening routine, I eat a kiwi and take magnesium as a supplement in the evening, to calm my muscles and nervous system."

Yoga and meditation – de-stress before bed
Yoga can be a great way to unwind before bed. Child's pose is a calming yoga pose that helps the body release tension. Yoga twists are also known to support the nervous system and can help promote better sleep.
Additionally, meditation can help you de-stress. Even a few minutes of deep breathing or a guided meditation can make a big difference.
Create the perfect bedroom – cool, dark and comfortable
Room temperature plays a big role in sleep quality. The brain needs to cool down to enter deep sleep, which is why your bedroom should be cool and dark. An optimal temperature is between 16-19 degrees.
Feel free to use a cooling eye mask – it blocks light and at the same time helps to lower your body temperature further.
Last but not least - Don't stress about your sleep
It's natural for sleep to vary throughout your life and through different periods. Some nights you sleep better than others – and that's okay! The more you worry about your sleep, the harder it can be to fall asleep. Instead, try to accept those nights where your sleep is not optimal, and focus on good routines over time.
