I always sleep better after a nice hot bath before bed. My body feels so relaxed and at ease. I’ve made it a part of my bedtime routine because it puts me into “sleep mode”. I use bath bombs to enhance that relaxation effect. You can buy them or make your own like this easy Lavender & Magnesium Soak. It will get you in the right frame of body and mind for some must-needed shut eye.
