Fatigue, sleepy,
exhausted…whatever you call it, they are all disgusting words. Besides taking
multiple pills to receive some sort of restful sleep, what else can be done to
either stay alert during the day or to help get some good sleep!? I think this has been the
number one question I have been asked since I started spreading the word about
essential oils.
So, I started looking
more into this and wanted to put together a super juicy blog post to help out
all the heavy eyed people out there.
In my research, I have found
a few all natural things that have worked for others that I completely support.
It just depends on what method of delivery you want. I’m going to break this down a bit more than
usual so I can help those who have trouble falling asleep and help those who
have issues with fatigue during the day.
