Love your ideas Roo - beautiful thread! :-) I will continue on in this vein...

Hot milk and honey is the best!!!

Lavender oil; a few drops on your actual pillow, and then put the case back on (not too much though as it can act as a stimulator too).

Arometherapy, time for bed premix; mandarin, sweet marjoram and ylang ylang: sprinkle all over your bottom bed sheet.

Bath before bed is too good. Slip into fresh sheets and feel yourself drift away.

Relaxation in bed, soft music drift off somewhere special. Use key words that make you feel safe and relaxed. For example, mine is 'peace', and I imagine it floating out of my mouth on my outward breath. I imagine it surrounded in a yellow/orange floaty bubble.

Keep a notepad next to bed and write yourself special notes before you go to sleep - beautiful dreams, restfull sleep etc etc

Only use your bedroom for relaxation and positive thoughts - no working etc.

Make your bedroom your sanctury - I have 6ft twig angel lights. I also have an angel crystal ball that reflects the light beautifully, like little twinkly stars in my room. I treated myself to new bedroom furniture. I have the best looking and comy bed, IMHO lol!!! My furniture is all pure white as I find this a tranquil bedroom colour and one that I can add other colours too to creat the right environement. Lots of different textures balnkets, throws and pillows, sensory indulgence. I am a poor student so you do not need to be wealthy to achieve this.

Try to think of bedtime as your special time!
