Are you getting enough sleep? According to a recent Center for Disease Control study, as much as 10% of all adults are not getting enough sleep. This may impact overall health, because research shows that sleep, along with exercise and diet, affects a person’s overall well-being.
Each year, sleep deprivation is believed to contribute to billions in lost productivity and damages from car crashes to work-related injuries. Surveys by the National Sleep Foundation (“NSF”) indicate that 60 percent of adults experience sleep problems at least several nights a week.
To recognize the importance of a good night’s rest to health, safety and productivity, the NSF is promoting the week of March 1-8 as a week of sleep education and awareness. (For more information visit their website at: www.sleepfoundation.org.) The campaign coincides with the return of Daylight Savings Time, which is a time of year where Americans lose an hour of sleep each night.
There are a number of ways to fall asleep faster and easier—such as avoiding substances like caffeine, sugar, and alcohol close to bedtime, getting regular exercise and practicing stress control. Aromatherapy is another natural choice to relieve stress, promote relaxation, and help with a better night’s sleep. It is an alternative to prescription medication (which can be habit-forming) or over-the-counter sleep aids (which may produce side-effects).
At Bella Floria, we are calling attention to this national health issue, by offering a special promotion (10% off with coupon “SLEEP”) on our aromatherapy products throughout the month of March. We’re also offering a free gift (“Sleep Concentrate” 7-day Supply) with any Essence of Vali purchase. Just enter “Free EOV Gift” in the order comments section at check-out.
Here’s to a restful night’s slumber.
