Sleep deprivation can adversely impact your love life in an array of different ways. It can lower sex drive in both men and women -- a fact that has been evidenced by numerous researchers. A lack of sleep can also have a negative effect on your relationship, as sleep problems can leave you irritable and easily annoyed, which is never good for your relationship!
Insomnia and sleep problems can also cause a wide range of additional health problems, including:
- depression and anxiety;
- lowered immune system and greater susceptibility to colds;
- weight gain or weight loss;
- bags under your eyes and more prominent wrinkles;
- and forgetfulness -- so you can literally blame your sleep problems for forgetting your girlfriend's anniversary!
Problems sleeping can also increase your susceptibility to problems such as heart disease and heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke -- problems that can have a dramatically negative impact on every aspect of an insomniac's life, including their romantic relationships.
So these Valentine's Day ideas for a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife who suffers from sleep deprivation won't just leave them feeling special and pampered; it can also improve their health and your relationship as a whole!
Consider the following Valentine's Day ideas for the sleep deprived in your life!
1) Offer a full-body massage with lavender oil or a lotion containing lavender. Lavender is known to promote relaxation, as does massage. Both will leave your loved-one feeling refreshed, relaxed and more in love than ever!
2) Similarly, you can surprise your insomniac Sweetie with a romantic bath with lavender oil, rose petals and candles. It's a great Valentine's Day idea that will leave her feeling pampered, relaxed and in the mood!
3) Surprise your beloved with a brand-new set of soft Egyptian cotton sheets and other cozy bedding. It's a gift that will keep on giving, as a cozy bed will lull them to sleep with coziness and comfort night after night!
4) Another great Valentine's Day idea: Go on a date that involves something physical, like a hike to a romantic vista for a picnic lunch or a walk to a secluded spot on the beach for a picnic dinner by candlelight. Exercise is known to promote better sleep!
5) Cook a delicious homemade meal or take your significant other out to a restaurant for a great Valentine's Day dinner that includes fish (particularly salmon, tuna and halibut). These foods contain vitamin B6, which triggers the sleep hormone, melatonin. Other "sleep-promoting" foods include tart cherry juice, yogurt, jasmine rice, bananas and chickpeas.
6) And at the risk of stating the obvious, sex also promotes a better night's sleep due to the exertion and the feel-good hormones that are released during physical intimacy. So making love doesn't just enrich your relationship; it will also help you to overcome your sleep problems!
7) Seal it with a kiss goodnight, muaw!
These ideas are sure help anyone who has problems sleeping, on Valentine's Day or any other day of the year. Plus, they're romantic and fun! Happy Valentine's Day!
