It’s party season and that might mean you’re getting even less sleep.
Parties and late nights can interfere with your bedtime routine – and if there’s booze involved, that can impact the quality of sleep you’re getting.
December often brings lots of fun, but the late nights and early starts when you’re trying to claw into work amid challenging weather can take their toll.
Improving your sleep hygiene could make a dramatic difference.
So what is sleep hygiene?
Having strong sleep hygiene is making sure your bedroom and routines promote a consistent and good night’s sleep.
This can be creating a comfortable space in your bedroom so that you’re free from distractions for an uninterrupted night’s shut-eye.
It can also mean maintaining a stable sleep schedule and creating daily habits that contribute to healthy rest.
Why is it important?
Getting a good night’s sleep is important for your mental and physical health. It helps us recharge the batteries and allows us to feel well-rested when we wake up.
There are many things that can play havoc with our sleep, from having children to work-related stress. You could move house or have a giant blowout for your birthday, and even travelling can throw things out of whack.
It’s all about making automating relaxation, building habits into your everyday that allow you to wind down in the evenings and wake up rejeuvenated.
Plantopia has created a Rest & Sleep range that users have found to have been a game-changer when it came to getting a good night’s kip.
In fact, the brand found in a recent study that 84% of users agreed that the mist instantly created a sense of peace before bed, while 76.7% found that it helped them drift off faster.
Before you get into bed, you spray the mist and take deep breaths in and out. Don’t forget to close your eyes before spraying, though. You can also spray directly on to your face and pillow before getting tucked in.
It uses powerful ingredients such as Ashwagandha, which boosts cell activity and resistance, as well as sandalwood along with an aromatherapeutic blend of essential oils.
After using the Lights Out Face and Space Mist, one reviewer rated it five stars, writing: ‘If you’re lacking in the sleep department, this is definitively the best product I’ve used. As an avid anxiety and insomniac, I’m always looking for natural ways to aid my sleep. This is 100% it.’
Another five-star fan wrote: ‘It also doubles up as a hydrating face mist which I think is brilliant, I do love a multipurpose product. This is probably my favourite out of all the sleep mists I’ve tried. It has a beautifully calming scent that isn’t overpowering like I have found some can be.
‘This is balanced perfectly to give you that calming effect without it feeling like you’ve been punched in the face with potent fragrance right before you want to turn your mind off for the night.’
The Lights Out Face and Space Mist is £18 at Plantopia.
