<div>While the holidays can be a time of celebration and fun they can also be a time of exhaustion. Traveling, parties, &#8220;on- the- go&#8221; can lead to sleep deprivation. Do you need a good nights sleep?  </div>
<div>The stone I use to help me get to sleep and  for going back to sleep if I awake during the night is the beautiful, soft energy of Petalite. Because Petalite is a Lithium bearing mineral it offers a soft balanced energy. Petalite&#8217;s energy is one of rest and healing.  Petalite can take me to a space where worries and concerns melt away, so that I can easily drift off to sleep, worry free of the days events and tomorrows concerns. Petalite gives me a sense that all is right in the world.  With a calm mind I can move into a restful state and give my body the sleep it needs so that I can be energized and vibrant to embrace all that this season has to offer.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sleep deprivation can have serious effects on your health in the form of physical and mental impairments. Inadequate rest impairs our ability to think, handle stress, maintain a healthy immune system and moderate our emotions. <br />
Without adequate rest, the brain&#8217;s ability to function quickly deteriorates. The brain works harder to counteract sleep deprivation effects, but operates less effectively: concentration levels drop, and memory becomes impaired. The brain&#8217;s ability to problem solve is greatly impaired. Decision-making abilities are compromised, and the brain falls into rigid thought patterns that make it difficult to generate new problem-solving ideas.</div>

<li>hypertension</li>
<li>irritability</li>
<li>slower reaction times</li>
<li>slurred speech</li>
<li>tremors.</li>
</ul>
<div>Before you spend another restless night, try sleeping with a Petalite.  Its calming, worry-free energies may just be what you need for some deep restfulness.</div>
