How To Green Your Bedtime Routine
3 Easy Steps to Get Eco-Friendly At Night
Every night, dreams of skin that is beautiful, soft and flawless cross the pillow as the moon makes its way across the sky. Each night, the body regenerates and gives each of us a new opportunity to get rest and fix some of the damage that is done each day by the elements of nature.

The Pajamas
Choosing the best clothing for sleep usually involves assessing what is most comfortable. Some people choose short and a shirt, some choose a tank top and skivvies. Whatever the choice of night time outfits, (unless the choice is commando) another consideration is the material of the clothing of choice. The materials that lay next to the skin for at around 7-10 hours per night should be soft, comfortable and organic.
The skin is our largest organ and also one that is constantly absorbing anything that is next to it. This includes clothing, not just lotion. The choice to go organic for sleep is eco-friendly and health friendly. Here are a few great, sexy night time resource for going to sleep green:

The Bedding
Each night the comforts of the warm cozy bed call out to sleepy people all over the world. The bed can be a haven for rest, or a haven for pesticides. Not exactly a warm fuzzy way to think about sleep, however, choosing conventional cotton or synthetic materials can be a choice that is quite un-earth-friendly.
A simple and inexpensive way to get organic in bed is to change the sheets and pillowcase that the skin touches all night long. Organic cotton bedding has come a long way and is much more accessible. Large department stores such as Target and Wal-Mart are now featuring organic brands at truly affordable prices.
