Sleep is an elusive period for many where the body and mind should be resting, recharging and repairing cells.
Environmental factors, hormones, stress, lifestyle and life events can all have an impact on the quality of sleep that we have.
Here are a few tips that I recommend to my clients who may struggle with their sleep.
Stick to a routine ( even at the weekends)
🌿
Eat a small supper about an hour or two before bed. Oatcakes with almond or cashew butter. Banana slices on brown bread drizzled with honey. A milky drink or oat drink with cacao powder.
🌿
Keep a journal by your bed. Write down all your thoughts from the day good and bad. See it as a brain dump.
🌿
Add anything to your to-do list pad that needs tackling the next day.
🌿
Ventilate. Even when it is freezing outside? Yes. Open this windows even just a crack to let that fresh air in.
🌿
Turn your radiator off or down very low. Cooler bedroom temperatures mean you drift off to sleep quicker.
🌿
Finally have a bedtime shower or bath ritual to signal to your body and mind that it is time to switch off from the busy day. Neals Yard Remedies do an amazing collection that have been expertly blended for a good nights sleep.
Below are two of my favourites that I love using after a stressful day. Ones for the body and one nourishes my skin as it repairs over night.

Organic Beauty Sleep Shower Oil
Transforms from an oil to a light milky lather making this feel like a luxurious cleanse. It is also intensely nourishing with a blend of skin-conditioning oils such as sweet almond oil which is clinically proven to moisturise skin for up to 24 hours. As you wash inhale the restful blend of essential oils which will enhance your bedtime routine leaving your skin beautifully soft and smooth.

Beauty Sleep Concentrate
Is one of their best selling, lightweight serums. It works by supporting your skin's natural night-time regeneration as you sleep. Smoothing tripeptide and a calming blend of essential oils, helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, so you can wake up feeling beautiful every day.
