How to have the best nights sleep

Getting a good nights sleep is more important than you realise, connecting to your mental and physical 

health and wellbeing. Adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day to have a better lifestyle. 

Due to work, personal life, adult duties amongst other things, getting a good nights sleep isn't always 

that easy. I wanted to share a few of my tips and tricks that I have learnt to help get a good sleep.

TURN OFF ELECTRONICS

An obvious yet forgotten tip is to turn off all electronics, at least 30 minutes before you want to go to 

sleep. This allows to your brain to unwind as well as yours eyes to rest after a long day. How you choose 

to spend your time after is up to you. Reading, colouring, praying or even just lying in silence are all good 

choices. Reading and colouring allow your brain to focus on one thing that isn't an electronic device, 

without straining your eyes, eventually leading you to fall asleep.

USE A PILLOW SPRAY

Pillow sprays have been around for as long as I can remember, aiming to help you unwind. Pillow 

sprays are often enriched with lavender and chamomile which tricks your brain into a sense of 

relaxation and calmness for a restful nights sleep. Spray a generous amount of this onto your pillow 

and surroundings at bedtime to help drift off into a peaceful sleep.

SOOTH YOUR BODY

Body care is something I never thought would associate with a better nights sleep. However Feather and 

down offer a selection of body care products infused with lavender and chamomile to sooth your body and 

relax your mind. I enjoy using the all purpose sleep balm*, which is used by rubbing a small amount onto 

your pulse points (temples, wrists and neck) to last longer due to the beat of your heart. This is also 

infused with vitamin e and essential oils helping to reduce anxiety and give a better nights sleep. 

TRY SLEEPING VITAMINS

Taking vitamins to go to sleep has definitely become more popular over the last few years and I have 

seen them grow more popular through TikTok. All sleeping vitamins are different and contain different

ingredients depending on the brand. However they all have the same aim; to provide ultimate relaxation 

and a restful nights sleep, leaving you feel more refreshed and uplifted in the morning.
