With winter quickly approaching, and the end of daylight savings time in sight, we seem to yearn for more (and better) sleep. Many of us struggle with occasional or chronic sleep issues. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, integrating expert tips with our innovative Light-Life Tools, might be just the combination you need to improve your sleep quality.
Understanding Sleep Disturbances
Sleep disturbances can result from various factors, including stress, an imbalanced environment, or an active mind. Before exploring the potential benefits of Light-Life Technology Tools, let’s dive into some effective tips to enhance your sleep routine.
Tips for Better Sleep and Light-Life Tools to Help
1. Establish a Consistent Routine:
Set a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Consistency helps regulate your body’s internal clock, aiding in a better sleep-wake cycle.
- If you are a parent, you know how important the bedtime routine is. So be as consistent with your own routine as you would be with your children’s.
- You are bound to have to make adjustments every now and then, don’t ditch the whole routine just because you missed a night or two!
- Be sure you are being realistic when creating a routine. Setting your bedtime for 9pm when you barely get the kids tucked in by 8, or you attend that unplanned Happy Hour, or you really need that girls/boys/date night, is just setting yourself up for failure.
Tools we recommend:
- Sacred Cubit Environmental Harmonizers have proven effective at providing a more restful environment for some. You can place it on a shelf, on your nightstand, or place it directly under your bed.
2. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Ritual:
Wind down before bed. This could involve reading, meditating, a soak in a warm bath, or a gentle yoga practice. A relaxing routine signals to your body that it’s time to sleep.
- As we approach the end of Daylight Savings Time, some people might find it beneficial to start shifting their bedtime ritual in 15 to 30-minute increments a few days to a week in advance.
- Everyone finds something different to be relaxing, so try a few different things out and see what works best. Just be sure that whatever you’re doing isn’t too stimulating (so best to leave that latest murder mystery that you just can’t put down, for another time).
Tools we recommend:
- If you choose meditation as a wind-down routine, placing a Lotus Pendant over your chakras can help clear your energy, allowing for a more restful sleep.

3. Optimize Your Sleep Environment:
Ensure your sleep space is conducive to rest. Keep the room dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature.
- If possible, use blackout curtains or use an eye mask to block out excess light.
- Most doctors recommend keeping the temperature anywhere between 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. If household members tend to argue over the thermostat, maybe try a fan if you sleep hot, or extra blankets if you tend to be colder at night.
- If you live in an apartment building, or a noisier city perhaps earplugs or a white noise machine can help you cancel out the more jolting noises that occur.
Tools we recommend:
- Placing Tensor Rings under the bed has helped many of our customers with sleep issues.
- If something prevents you from placing a Ring under your bed, place a Tensor Ring under your pillow to help calm the mind.
4. Limit Stimulants and Screen Time:
Avoid caffeine and electronic screens at least an hour before bedtime.
- The blue light emitted by screens can disrupt the body’s natural sleep cycle. This goes for televisions as well as cell phones and computers.
Tools we recommend:
- If you cannot fathom sleeping without your phone on the nightstand, try placing it inside one of our Tensor Rings. This has been reported to block EMFs and any other negative energies that might be emitted during the night.
5. Seek Natural Light Exposure:
Get exposure to natural light during the day to support your body’s internal clock. Aim to spend time outside, particularly in the morning, to reinforce the wakeful phase of your cycle.
- If you can’t break away from your desk to get outside, try opening the blinds and working with the natural light of a room instead of artificial light
Tools we recommend:
- Wearing a Personal Energy Harmonizer can help keep you (and sometimes those around you) calmer and more at ease. You might find it easier to step outside for a few more minutes every day if your mind isn’t abuzz with a lot of unnecessary stress!
Final Thoughts

It’s important to note that while these Tools have been beneficial for some, individual experiences may vary. They are often used as complementary aids to established sleep practices. Should you experience persistent sleep issues, consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended.
