Water is your best friend-

Did you know that the human body is made up of over 60 percent of water?

We lose a significant amount of water as we make our way through the day. A glass of water before bed will not only replace lost moisture, but it will also flush out unhealthy toxins within the body whilst your sleep.

Get fruity-

While some health experts argue that fruit isn’t the best snack to eat before bed, eating fruit may not be so bad after all as it can help towards hydrating the body before bed. Cherries not only give you extra moisture but they contain melatonin which helps regulate your sleep cycle.

Coconuts are food for your mood-

Coconuts in their many forms have multiple benefits including improving your mood and hydration levels. Coconut water contains electrolytes making it a fantastic hydrator, if you are feeling grumpy a few hours before bed a glass of coconut water could make a change in your energy levels and concentration, preventing a restless night’s sleep.

Olive oil isn’t restricted to the kitchen-

Olive oil is both affordable and a great natural hydrator. Lathering your body with olive oil quenches the skin’s thirst. You can also place it on your hair from roots to tips, applying this before bedtime means that you won’t be seen with greasy looking hair and the oil can work its magic whilst you sleep.
