FORTY WINKS GIFT GUIDE; Upcycled on Etsy

I long for forty winks... In this day and age it is so often that people are having troubles sleeping and I am no different from the rest.  We are in a state of go, go, go throughout the day to the point we feel we may drop but when it is time for bed... BOING! the second wind kicks in.  The mind races, an incomplete chore list runs through your head,  and then the all to familiar question pops up, "Did I remember to put away the  ____" (fill in the blank.)  Sound familiar? 

Staying with a nightly sleep routine is very important to ensure a complete and quality rest.  Turning off the laptop, the TV, the phone and quieting the mind can be hard but it is absolutely necessary to get into a good routine.  When you do finally establish a routine (whatever it is) it seems that your subconscious mind recognizes that routine and says "Oh, she's brushed her teeth, took a shower, and has the lavender sitting on the night table it is time for bed."  We automatically start to feel sleepy and the mind usually quiets without much effort.

So I broke my routine last night and Wow! what a night.  So within my state of grogginess and sleep on my mind I thought that Forty Winks would make a great little gift guide.  Give the gift of rest and sleep:
