Here's How to REALLY Get Your Sleep This Holiday Season
Because after all that speed-shopping, you need some R&R.
The holidays are just around the corner, and you're sprinting to the finish line. That first sip of spiked egg nog on Christmas afternoon (okay, morning) will be divine — but until then, you have work to do. And between the shopping, decorating, baking, cooking, and listening to your sister vent about her in-laws, it's hard to stop your head from spinning when you finally crawl between the sheets.
For nights when the chamomile tea just doesn't cut it, here's what you need to buy. These calming products will do their part to help you get a restful night's sleep. And, each of them make a great gift, as well. After all, everyone has "sweet dreams" on his or her wish list.
