Relationship between bath and sleeping


If you take a bath little before you go to bed, it is easy to get to sleep. Our body temperature rise by taking a bath, but this temperture fall gradually after bath. But we can't sleep immediately after bath. It is good to get in futon after our body temperture fall. Just time to get in futon is from 30minutes to one hour after bath. You should use the time for relaxing on the bed from bath to sleeping. At this time, you must not think about the today's event or tomorrow. Today already finished, and you can think about tomorrow when tomorow come. You need relaxing with deep breathing for good sleep.

Sandalwood


Aromatherapy-Sandalwood


I tried ''Aromatherapy'' in this weekend. I used picture's appliance. I'll explain this appliance's machanism. I put candle on down part, and I put aromaoil on upper plate. Candle's fire heat aromaoil, smell of oil fill the room. I was able to go to sleep soon. I forgot to turn the light off, because I slept in no time. Also, I slept for about 11 hours.
This aromatherapy is ''Sandalwood.'' Sandalwood is kind of plant called '' Byakudan'' in Japan. The characteristic of smell is sweet and woody. Web says that this araroma is often used in temple in India. Sandalwood makes us relax and calm. It shows effect when we are tensed, and we are uncomfortable. But, if we use it when we have a heavy heart, it may make us more droop.

Pillow for Eyes



The picture is ''eye pillow.'' Yesterday, I went to bed with putting this eye pillow on my eyes. Eye pillow makes my eyes close naturally. Also, this eye pillow has lavender's smell. I often hered that aromatherapy is good for sleeping well. I could sleep with having a smell of lavender. I checked lavender's effect on the Internet. I found the site about a good sleep. And the report said that lavender has relax influences, and it has been used for relieving sleeplessness since a long time ago. I think I want to try various aromatherapy.
