The Moon and Mare Guide to Deeper Rest
Share
1. Set the Scene
Your body begins winding down long before you close your eyes.
Dim overhead lights 30 minutes before bed.
Silence notifications and lower screen brightness.
Keep your bedroom between 60–67°F for optimal sleep temperature.
Light and temperature tell your brain: “It’s safe to rest now.”
2. Choose Comfort That Breathes
The fabric touching your skin matters more than you think.
Skip synthetics that trap heat and moisture.
Opt for TENCEL™ Modal, bamboo, or cotton blends that wick away warmth.
Loose, breathable pajamas = deeper, cooler sleep.
Softness is science — when your skin can breathe, your mind follows.
3. Anchor a Simple Ritual
Consistency cues calm. Try one small ritual every night:
Herbal tea or a few deep breaths by candlelight.
Journaling one sentence of gratitude.
Light stretching or gentle music.
A familiar rhythm tells your body: “We’re slowing down now.”
4. Mind the Mind
If thoughts race when you lie down:
Keep a notepad nearby — release them onto paper.
Use a slow 4-7-8 breathing cycle.
Remind yourself that rest is productive too.
5. Upgrade the Essentials
A few small tweaks make big differences:
Cooling pillow or breathable duvet.
Blackout curtains or silk eye mask.
Moon & Mare sleepwear — cool, weightless, buttery-soft.
Your nighttime environment should whisper calm, not clutter.
6. Protect Your Sleep Hours
Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily — even weekends.
Quality sleep isn’t about perfection; it’s about rhythm and respect for rest.
🩵 Final Thought
Deeper rest isn’t found — it’s created.
It starts with softness, quiet, and a ritual that belongs only to you.
