If you have had a particularly difficult time falling asleep or staying asleep recently, consider doing some spellcraft to aid the situation.

Before bed, try meditating for a full ten minutes in total silence by sitting up in your bed and clearing your mind to the best of your ability. Count your breaths. As you do this, burn a violet/purple candle that has been anointed with pure lavender essential oil. You may also wish to inscribe the candle with little images of closed eyes and ZZZs. Extinguish the candle before lying down for slumber.

In addition to this candle magick, you may wish to stitch your own lavender-stuffed sleepy time pillow or stuffed animal to sleep with. Finally, if your insomnia is ongoing, consider speaking with a sleep specialist or trying some natural short-term remedies for restfulness, such as tryptophan or melatonin. If you are taking any other medications, be sure to do some research (or check with your doctor) to ensure that nothing will negatively interact.
