Cold, Cold, Go Away!

Dear Mindful Sleepers,

As we welcome the arrival of spring, there are many reasons to celebrate - the warmer weather, blooming flowers, and longer days are just a few. But did you know that spring can also have a positive impact on our sleep?

As the days get longer and the sun starts to shine, our bodies begin to produce more melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep. This natural increase in melatonin can help us feel more tired at night, making it easier to fall and stay asleep.

In addition to the increase in melatonin, the warmer weather can also have a positive impact on our sleep. When our bodies are exposed to sunlight, we produce more vitamin D, which is important for regulating our circadian rhythms. This helps to improve our sleep-wake cycle and can lead to better quality sleep.

But it's not just the physical changes that make spring a great time for sleep - it's also the mental and emotional benefits. With the arrival of spring comes a sense of renewal and rejuvenation, which can help us to feel more relaxed and at ease. The beauty of the blooming flowers and fresh greenery can also have a calming effect on the mind, helping us to unwind and let go of any stress or tension.

So as we embrace the new season, let's also take the opportunity to prioritize our sleep. Make sure you're getting enough rest each night, and try to create a peaceful sleep environment that promotes relaxation and calm. And when you step outside and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the season and the positive impact it can have on your sleep.

Happy Spring, and sweet dreams!

Warmly,

The Midsummer team
