Better Sleep: 3 Natural Ways to Fall Asleep Faster

When the seasons shift, so do our sleep patterns. 

The cooler evenings of fall, busier routines, and earlier sunsets can make it harder to settle down at night. If you’ve found yourself staring at the ceiling or waking up groggy, you’re not alone. The good news? Small, natural shifts can make a big difference.

As a Registered Nurse who has helped countless women simplify their wellness routines, I’ve learned that better sleep isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things consistently. Here are three natural ways to fall asleep faster this fall—plus how to personalize them to your life with a wellness session.

1. Relax Your Body with Magnesium

Magnesium is often called the “relaxation mineral” for a reason. It calms the nervous system, eases muscle tension, and supports deeper, more restorative rest. Topical magnesium—like sprays, lotions, or sticks—absorbs directly through your skin, making it a simple, effective bedtime tool.

I've been using magnesium, especially at bedtime, since 2017. It's  game changer to help you settle down, fall asleep and stay asleep all night. 

💡 Try this: Massage magnesium lotion into your calves and shoulders before bed or spritz a magnesium spray on the soles of your feet. It’s like telling your body, “It’s time to power down.”

2. Set the Scene with a Calming Routine

A restless night usually starts with a restless evening. Instead of scrolling your phone until midnight, create a wind-down ritual that tells your brain it’s safe to rest. This doesn’t need to be complicated—think five to ten minutes of simple, repeatable steps.

I like to turn off all my devices, get ready for bed and put my house to sleep too. Take care of the dogs, turn off lights and make sure everything is tidy so I wake up to a calm home. I like to read before I go to sleep, but whatever calming hobbies or habits you have - now is the perfect time to do them!

💡 Try this: Turn off bright lights, sip a caffeine-free tea, jot a few thoughts in your journal, and rub on a sleep-supportive essential oil blend. Your body begins to recognize these cues and responds with relaxation.

3. Support Good Sleep Habits with Essential Oils

Aromatherapy works hand-in-hand with relaxation. Certain essential oils—like lavender, chamomile, or cedarwood—naturally calm the nervous system and signal the brain that it’s time for rest. Diffuse them in your bedroom, apply to your wrists, or pair them with magnesium for a powerful combo.

💡 Try this: Keep a small roller bottle of a sleep blend on your nightstand. Roll it on your wrists or pillowcase for instant comfort.

✨ Ready to tie it all together? Jordan Essentials' Sleep Blend is already pre-mixed, so there’s no guesswork—just simple support for sleep.
