3 effective ways to sleep better

Getting consistently good sleep isn’t easy in the modern world, whether it’s stress, screen time, or an overactive mind keeping you up.

Thankfully there are science-backed natural sleep remedies to shift you out of that poor sleep cycle and restore your naturally restful sleep.

Aromatherapy improves sleep quality

Aromatherapy isn’t just a lovely ritual before bed - it’s backed by research! Studies show that essential oils can help improve sleep quality, with combined benefits of reduced stress, pain, anxiety, depression, and fatigue.

💤 Try this: Just Sleep essential oil blend combines lavender, geranium, bergamot, and frankincense to create a deeply relaxing atmosphere. Add a few drops to a mist diffuser in the bedroom (more usage tips here).

Nutrition supports calming neurotransmitters

Brain won’t switch off at night? Sleep could be improved by promoting GABA - a calming neurotransmitter.

You might see US brands selling GABA as a supplement, but it’s not permitted in the UK, falling under the prescription only medicine category.

However, you can support your brain to relax naturally, with nutrients that promote GABA and alpha brain waves for deep relaxation, such as Taurine, Theanine and Magnesium.

💊 Try this: Night Support supplement includes magnesium, theanine, and taurine, all of which promote a calm mind to allow restful sleep.

Absorb magnesium through your skin

Magnesium is essential! It helps muscles relax and calms the nervous system. Our diets tend to lack magnesium, and it’s further depleted by stress. As well as supplements, there’s another way to top up your levels: topical application. Magnesium absorbs efficiently through the skin, delivering relaxation directly to tired and crampy muscles.

💆‍♀️ Try this: Magic Sleep Balm contains magnesium, lavender, valerian, and rose absolute for a double dose of relaxation. Massage into your feet, lower back and anywhere tense before bed.

Combine natural remedies for the ultimate good sleep

All of the above can be combined to support you through a period of bad sleep. But they’re also a pleasure to use, so you can carry on using them daily for a luxurious bedtime.
