Peaceful Night’s Sleep Spread

On This Day

Comfortable bedtime rituals such as warm showers, reading a book, or listening to soothing music all induce a good night’s sleep, giving your body subtle clues it is time to wind down and relax.

The film Sleeping Beauty was released on this day in 1959.

Summation of Spread
