Sleeping Soundly Down Under This Winter

The gradually shorter days of fall are the perfect signal to our bodies and beings that the depths of winter will soon be here. After a beautiful summer filled with lots of outings and adventures and late sunsets, the sun starts to retreat. The summer heat and warmth is soon replaced by the fresh, crisp air of autumn. Fall is a time of harvest, and we start to prepare hearty meals to replace our lighter summer fare. We’ll spend more time indoors, now that fall is here.

As winter approaches we can feel our bodies adjusting to the expectation of the colder, darker winter months. There seems to be a natural inclination to cocoon, to wrap ourselves up in warmth. With the shorter days and earlier darkness, we may also find that we are looking forward to sleep each night. As winter approaches, it’s a good idea to get our bedroom ready to support us during these colder months.

Pick the Perfect Doona for Year Round

Getting great sleep is vitally important for our health and well-being, as well as our longevity. An all seasons quilt can keep your body at the right temperature at night, so you get deep sleep instead of tossing and turning the whole time.

You will be all set for winter if you get a wonderful all seasons quilt. With these specialized doonas, you get a doona that’s perfect for warmer months, and another that is great for transitional times when it starts to get more chilly. When winter comes, you can join the two together to create a super warm doona that is perfect for winter.

Choose Quality Bedding Made in Australia

When you are snuggling in for a winter’s night, it helps if you are surrounded by a luxurious, all wool doona. You will be able to go online and find 5-star hotel quality bedding that is made in Australia and will last for years.

In addition to supporting Australian workers and farmers, you will have the comfort of knowing that your top quality doona was made with care locally instead of being sloppily put together overseas.

Easily Slip Off to Dreamland by Using Essential Oils

We naturally want to sleep longer in winter, but sometimes its hard to unwind after a busy day at work. In addition to making sure you have a warm and comfy doona, one of the things you can do is to use essential oils to help improve your sleep.

If you add an essential oil diffuser to your bedroom, you will be able to bring in the healing scents and benefits of oils that enhance sleep. Turn to essential oils like lavender, chamomile, bergamot and ylang ylang to enhance your sleep experience.
