Recovery & Sleep

 
  • I got the ProSource Acupressure Mat because I wasn't sure if I would even use it. But, there are so many beautiful ones (like this Ajna one) that would look great in a meditation room, if you've got the space for one. Just one bit of advice-make sure you get the neck pillow! Finally, start by watching this video, so you are going slow and carefully using the mat: How to Use an Acupressure Mat

  • I received this Opove M3 Pro Massage Gun as a gift and given it many times over. It came recommended by numerous people. There are so many of these products out there, Theragun Massage Gun is probably the most popular, but also more expensive. I've tried both and was happy with the Opove M3 Pro.

  • I have been trying a few CBD products over the past year and Equilibria is probably the one that I've noticed the most difference with, as far as quality of sleep and restful sleep. The best part is that you get a specialist to work with to determine your dosage. I started adn still use the 300mg drops, but I had pretty intense dreams the first time I used it. I reduced the dosage and have been really happy with my results: no crazy dreams, just restful sleep. You can use the code REFPARULDAS for $20 off. The subscribe and save is the best deal and you don't have to get it monthly (I don't use a full bottle in a month, so I get my shipment every other month).

 
  • I love rubbing this Osea Vagus Nerve Oil on my neck and earlobes before my bedtime routine. I get the best sleep when I do this, with a combination of leg elevation.

  • This yoga pose is usually reserved for the end of yoga class, but it's a great way to end your day as well. It is great for circulation, stretching the lower back and hamstrings, helps ease swollen feet/legs, and relaxes the pelvic floor. I recommend starting with a meditation cushion under your back for the most comfort.

    It is NOT recommended for those with Glaucoma, Hypertension, or Hernias.

  • There are so many options here. I have used the Peloton app's stretching sections for a quick 10 minute stretch. You can do a few of the yoga poses pictured above, find videos on YouTube searching "best stretches for great sleep". Start with 2-3 and work your way up to a good routine.

 
  • I probably make this pukka night time tea 2-3 times a week and alternate my routine a bit each night. Honestly, it would take a long time to do all of the things listed here, so I typically choose 2 and still notice a huge difference in my sleep.
