Sleep That Loves You Back: My Gentle Night Routine + A New Helper I’m Loving

Have you ever had one of those nights?
You know the kind — eyes wide at 1:37 a.m., brain hosting a full-blown town hall about things that absolutely did not need a vote.
You get up, drink water, pray, and even try counting sheep.
We've all had these nights at some point or another; some people have them far too often.
The problem is not necessarily getting to sleep, but rather the need for a kinder bedtime rhythm.
Many people also could benefit from a little sleep support that gently nudges their body toward rest instead of forcing it.
I bring you- the rhythm and the helper — because sleep shouldn’t feel like a battle. It should feel like a soft landing.
Why good sleep feels so hard (and why it isn’t your fault)
Life turns the volume up: a busy day, a heavy conversation, screens, late snacks, hormones being hormonal. And sometimes, like clockwork, we pop awake between 1–3 a.m. (Anyone else?).
That’s a common window when your body is doing its behind-the-scenes cleanup. If it doesn’t have what it needs, it waves a little internal flag… and you feel it.
It turns out: our body wants to sleep well. Hooray! When we give it the right signals and a little support, it remembers how.
Meet my gentle sleep sidekick (an easy spray)
For the past year? or so, our family has been trying a liposomal nano spray called Sleep from Solex. Fancy words aside, here’s why we love it:
It’s gentle. It doesn’t “knock you out.” It simply helps me settle.
It absorbs quickly. You spray it in your mouth; it’s made to be taken up fast so you can use less and still feel the shift.
It thinks about the whole night. Not just falling asleep, but also staying asleep — especially that tricky 1–3 a.m. window.
One of my military kids has a swing shift, the kind that work begins at 5 pm and doesn't end until after P.T. at 1 am. Needless to say, he is wired & struggled to get his body on that schedule. This Sleep Spray has been a huge blessing ot get his body on a schedule that works for the military lifestyle.
What’s inside (in plain English)
No lab coats here — just simple “what it does”:
GABA & L-theanine – tells the brain, “We’re closed for the night.” Less chatter, more calm.
Magnesium (glycinate & citrate) – relaxes your muscles and supports gentle overnight cleanup.
Taurine – opens the “calm channel” and helps your natural melatonin do its job.
Glycine – helps steady blood sugar and lower core temperature (your body sleeps better a little cooler).
Low-dose melatonin – a whisper to your sleep rhythm, not a shout.
Chamomile – the bedtime tea feeling, in a few sprays.
Milk thistle – a little love for your liver, which works hard between 1–3 a.m.
How I use it (my easy bedtime flow)
Dim & exhale. Lights down, phone away (the struggle is real), a few slow deep breaths.
Sip & Savor. I often, even in Summer, brew healing herbal tea. This causes my nervous system and immune system to be restored throughout the night.
Spray. Label says 5 sprays; I started with 2 and found my sweet spot at 3–4. Hold in the mouth a moment, then swallow.
Scent + sound. I inhale a calming oil, depending on what my Inner Voice scan said, and then listen to said Inner Voice for a few minutes. (If you use a frequency scanner, you can imprint sleep frequencies into the bottle — I notice it helps my body “recognize” bedtime faster.)
Cool & cozy. Room around 68°F, blanket I love, gratitude journaling for about 10 minutes, declare God's word over myself and family. Lights out.
Side note: everybody's body is unique. Try 3 sprays for a few nights; if you still feel wired, add one. If you wake groggy, use less. Let your body teach you.
What I’ve noticed (and what clients share)
Wind-down is quicker. The brain lets go; the body unclenches.
No 1–3 a.m. wakeups. Liver gets support; sleep stays smooth.
Better mornings. No foggy “sleep aid hangover.” Just… me, rested.
Simple comfort list for better nights
Keep evenings simple and lighter (big meals and stressful television shows keep the nervous system up).
Stretch your jaw and shoulders for one minute (they hold trauma and stories of the day).
Write the to-do list before you brush your teeth. Tell your brain, “We’ll handle it tomorrow.”
If you wake up at night, place one palm on your chest, one on your belly. Breathe in for 4, out for 6, ten times. Whisper a bible verse you've been meditating on, thanking God for the breath in your lungs, your cozy bed, etc. Most of all, do not begin to worry about being awake.
FAQs I often get
Will it make me dependent?
It’s designed to nudge your own rhythm, not replace it. My daughter started with 5-6 sprays and is now at 2-3. Think: training wheels for your circadian system.
Can I take more if I’m extra stressed?
Yes, it’s flexible and quite intuitive. Many do well at 3–5 sprays; occasionally, folks use 6–7 on tough nights. Always listen to your body.
Is it safe with my meds or pregnancy?
Please check with your healthcare provider.
For my frequency friends
If you use the Solex scanner, try this: imprint a custom SEFi Sleep into your Sleep spray, take your sprays, then play your Inner Voice balancing tones through headphones. Oils + breath + tones + a body that trusts you = the coziest equation I know.
Ready to try the spray?
If you’d like my Sleep routine cheat-sheet (exact steps, journaling prompts, and a little “what to try if you wake at 2 a.m.” guide), send me an email with the Subject “SLEEP” and I’ll send it over. If you don’t have access to Inner Voice yet, I'd love to help you get started or offer a done-with-you session to set up your tones and bedtime plan.
You’re not “bad at sleeping.” Your body just needs kinder cues. We can do kind. 🌙✨
