First, leave your worries outside your bedroom. Don't bring your work into your bedroom. Work in your study or at the office. When you come home, leave your work related worries behind. You can't solve the problem by worrying about it. You'd be better off getting a good night's rest and tackling it with a fresh mind the next morning.

Start off with a cup of freshly brewed chamomile tea which you can get from the grocery shop or the supermarket or even the health foor store on your way home. Chamomile is a delightfully soothing herb that would help you relax. Get a bottle of pure lavender oil and pure geranium oil as well. When used together, they have a deliciously relaxing effect that would help you sleep.

Do you have a bath tub?

Nothing beats a nice warm bath at the end of the day to ease away the tension. Fill the tub with water and add a few drops of lavender oil and 1 drop of geranium oil to it. Agitate the water with your hand before getting in. Take your time to scrub yourself from head to toe. Totally pamper yourself. You deserve it

If you don't have a bath tub, take a shower with your favourite shower gel. When you're done, towel dry then bathe your feet. Fill a basin with warm water, add a few drops of lavender oil to the water and one drop of geranium oil. Then sit on a comfortable chair and soak your feet in that water. A foot bath is just as relaxing as a full body bath.

All done?

Put on your favorite moisturizer. Then clean and dry your hands and give yourself a foot massage.

Massage under each toe with your thumb. Then pinch and massage the webbing between your toes.Close your right hand into a fist and run your knuckles down the sole of your each foot repeatedly for 1 minute... or longer if you'd like.

Finally, it is time to get to bed. Your mattress should be a comfortable one. By the way, when was the last time you changed it. Not the sheets, but the itself. Make it a point to change your bed sheets weekly and mattress every few years.

You wouldn't want to be awakened in the middle of the night by the cold, so snuggle up under a comfy warm , let go of everything and let your mind drift off to sleep.
