Hoping for some quality sleep tonight? Of the various methods suggested in a search to improve sleep quality, tea is favored as a proven, natural, and delicious way to drift off.
Incorporating tea into your bedtime routine helps the body and mind to relax, many’s first obstacle when it’s time to turn in. Here are some caffeine-free options to sip before you sleep.
Chamomile Tea
Chamomile Tea has a subtle flavor that promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety. Studies have shown that drinking chamomile tea before bed can not only improve sleep quality but reduces insomnia symptoms.
Lavender Tea
The smell alone will ease your restless mind and body. Dried lavender flowers, which lavender tea is brewed from, have sedative effects on the nervous system, which lead to lessened tension and ease insomnia.
Peppermint Tea
Peppermint tea has menthol, which is known for its muscle-relaxing properties. Peppermint tea also aids in digestion, relieving your body of discomfort before you lay down. As with lavender tea, the smell of peppermint tea alone has its benefits for relaxation.
So, make yourself a cup of tea before bed. Inhale the scent, sip the goodness, and reap the benefits.
