SLEEPING BEAUTY – WHY IS SLEEP SO IMPORTANT?
”Sleep is the best meditation.” – Dalai Lama.
Sleep is an essential basic need for everyone, regardless of age or gender. We all know this, but sometimes the most critical thing can be a difficult one.
There are so many underlying factors that can contribute to not being able to doze off into a deep contented slumber.
According to The Independent, the average adult has seen an increase in Stress and Anxiety levels by almost 50% since Lockdown.
Sleep is an essential function that allows our body to recharge, leaving you refreshed and alert throughout the day and allowing the body to remain healthy.
Without enough sleep, our brains just simply cannot function properly. We need rest to survive, just like we need food and water.
Sleep affects many aspects of the brain, such as:
Learning
Memory
Creativity
Decision making
Focus
Concentration
Therefore, we created The Sleep Box to allow you to unwind, relax and to give you that gentle helping hand to aid you into a deep and restful sleep.
Our Sleep Box contains two different teas for both Morning and Evening time. They compliment each other beautifully, and when used together, our natural herbal teas can contribute to a good night’s sleep.

BEDTIME MEDITATION
The benefits of bedtime meditation are great if you suffer from Anxiety.
It is worth giving yourself 10-15 mins each night before bed to allow your body to switch off and become attuned with yourself completely in a stressful world.
It is all about promoting a sense of inner peace within yourself and reconnecting your body and mind.
Stress is a major disrupter of healthy sleep, so taking that time for yourself is so beneficial to your self-care.
There are so many benefits of meditation as it evokes relaxation within the body. Balances the nervous system may help with depression whilst being completely safe.
We highly recommend making a cup of our Lavender tea and sipping throughout or even after your session to gently lull you into a sense of calmness before you drift off to sleep.
” The best bridge between despair and hope is a good night’s sleep.” – E. Joseph Cossman
Our Sleep Tea is also the perfect sleepy bedtime drink for children, too, as all of ours teas are made with 100% natural ingredients. So lots of goodness for your little ones before they head to sleep and enter the land of dreams.
