Do you use any products to help you sleep? If so, what are they?
I would love to try the RestOn Sleep Tracker, sounds like a great product.
What does that do ?
Oooh! I’m curious!
It’s also important to practice good sleep hygiene and keep electronic devices and tvs out of the bedroom.
I usually put some peppermint oil into a diffuser to help me de stress
Warm milk with honey is what I love to have before a good nights sleep.
I hate milk so not one for me although it sounds soothing
Gosh I need all these products right now. I haven’t been sleeping well for a couple of weeks and can’t figure out what is causing such disrupted sleep.
I think all the news about Covid and Omicron hasn’t helped
Definitely- the last two years has caused a lot of insomnia, anxiety and depression for many!
I take valerian root tablets which help me with falling asleep. So does magnesium
High strength Valerian alternating with Ashwagandha and Kava has helped me!
If I’m having trouble sleeping (thanks menopause) I use the Swisse valerian tablets. Smells like dirty feet but it works.
omg lol dirty feet! 😀
I have used a silk pillow case and was really disappoined and magnesium and zinc and lavender but I take a long time to get to sleep .I have tried breathing exercises and relax muscle exercises but Nope
I sleep like crazy. Due to lifestyle.
I use a variety of scented products and a silk pillowcase but I still often find it hard to nod off.
A warm bath with anything lavender helps. I also use In Essence Sleep Mist sometimes. Occasionally, I burn incense. I find that using the same method every night lessens its effectiveness.
I sleep fine most of the time but sometimes when I just really want to sleep my mind won’t stop thinking about stuff that’s not important and that can be really annoying. I find having a cup of tea before bed helps relax me though.
I am the same, mostly all good, but sometimes when I just cannot stop my mind from thinking about things.
In Essence Sleep Easy Pillow Mist sounds like a nice idea. Just spray it onto your pillow. So easy.
Valerian capsules is my go to product. The pillow mist sound interesting because it contains valerian too.
Don’t sleep very well so will have to give some of these a go.
I just keep coming back to this article, I love a good sleep mist.
I’d love to bookmark this as a favourite. I miss that feature from the old site!
me too….they gotta bring that back soon! I’ve no doubt it will come back it was awesome
MECCA has a fantastic sleep mist- REN “Now To Sleep”. L’Occitane makes a lovely one too!
It’s also important to practice good sleep hygiene and keep electronic devices and tvs out of the bedroom. If you must use your device, switch it to black and white mode!
I have tried pretty much everything on the market, but nothing really seems to work for me..
Most nights I sleep okay, just every now and then I seem to toss and turn. Why one wonders.
I use a relaxation essential oil blend in a diffuser in my bedroom. I think it does help.
Good product recommendations. Although I do not use the specific brand mentioned; yet I like using lavender spray on my pillow. That helps a bit.
I think I need to try some of these!
I’ve been making a shake using milk kefir an hour or so before bed and it has been helping me sleep most nights
I love a nice herbal tea.
sharing this with one of my daughters! she claims she has troubling winding down – she is doing the hsc so no surprises there
the bathefex is really good…love it
A lot of these sound really good. I sleep perfectly but am always tired with a toddler
I have purchased some silk pillowcases – any product that can help with both sleep and your hair sounds like a win.
I really want a silk pillowcase they look so nice! X
The real star of this article should be melatonin! haha
I think that if you dont get enough sleep it must be awful. The In Essence Sleep Easy Pillow Mist sounds like a good product to try and easy to use.
Need to look into this
I have stopped playing games on my i pad at night and now find I sleep much better
My mother was the best sleeper that I know. Her head would touch the pillow and she was gone not to wake up until the morning.
