Isn’t it amazing how one measly little hour of sleep can throw your entire day (heck… week even) out of whack? Ever feel like this:

I have a love/hate relationship with daylight savings. I LOVE having more daylight, but “springing forward” (as it is so affectionately known) wreaks havoc on my sleep cycle. So this year I have finally devised a plan that I hope (crossing fingers) will get me (and all of you) through any post daylight savings sleep deprivation. No Worries Be Happy (located in Blue Moon Gift Shops) specializes in items for reducing stress. First in the line of defense to getting a good nights sleep is….well…. actually falling asleep. If you happen to be like me and love tea, you have to brew yourself a cup of chamomile lemon Surrender To Sleep Herb Tea by The Republic of Tea. This caffeine free blend of lemon balm, linden flowers, lavender, chamomile, and other soothing herbs not only tastes divine but also smells wonderful!chamomile lemon tea

Next if you’ve never tried a sleep machine, you must!! I simply must have some sort of background noise otherwise I will be up all night. The Sound+Sleep Machine has 10 different soothing sound stories to send you to dreamland! It even has an adaptive sound feature which automatically adjusts the sleep machine’s volume according to the level of noise outside. So when the neighbor’s dog FINALLY stops barking it will adjust to an appropriate level for you…. so smart!

Moving along….. while on the path to serenity and relaxation you have to check out their fabulous selection of books, CDs and DVDs. Titles including The Mindful Solution (everyday practices for everyday problems) and I Want My Life Back (life management for busy women) are just two of the books that caught my attention. Not leaving anyone behind No Worries Be Happy owner Julie Chambers has thoughtfully included soothing lullabies for your little one and Through a Dog’s Ears (music to calm your canine companion) to her comprehensive collection. So next time you say, “I can’t take it anymore!” take a deep breath, hop in your car, and head to Blue Moon and visit No Worries Be Happy on your path to relax, renew, and rejuvenate. This could be you…..
