1. Why do screens affect your ability to fall asleep?
Blue light keeps your brain wired. Screens suppress melatonin - your natural sleep hormone - and extend alertness when your body needs rest. Swap screens for analog rituals: read a page, write a thought, or light a calming candle to ease the transition.
2. What are natural ways to transition your body into sleep mode?
Your body responds to rhythm. Repeating sensory cues like dimmed lights, quiet spaces, and relaxing scents trains your system to unwind. Use scent as a sleep signal. Try Revively’s lavender candle to create a calming end to your day.
3. How can lighting choices signal rest and relaxation?
Cool-toned lights tell the brain to stay alert. Warm, flickering light - like fire or candle glow - helps your nervous system shift gears. Our sandalwood candle mimics this natural light, creating an ideal sensory environment for rest.
4. Which scents support deeper, more restorative sleep?
Lavender and sandalwood help slow heart rate, ease mental noise, and quiet the body into stillness. They act on the nervous system fast - faster than thought. Avoid synthetic candles; choose clean, essential-oil-based blends to support deep, irritation-free rest.
