We all know the struggle of not getting enough sleep and waking up tired and grumpy in the morning. But did you know sleep deprivation can actually affect your concentration, memory and cause irritability and anxiety? For some people, even if they go to sleep on time they can’t seem to stay asleep and keep waking up during the night anyways. If that’s an issue for you, hopefully, these 5 things can help you with those problems to make sure you get a good night’s sleep every night.
Sleep Pillow Spray
Many sleep sprays just seem to smell nice but don’t actually help with sleep issues, but this one is different. The smell is a soothing blend of lavender, vetivert and chamomile to help you relax. In a study of people who used it, 89% fell asleep faster, 97% slept better and 98% felt more refreshed in the morning. Get this miracle spray here for £15.60. (Pictured below)
If you want something similar but in the form of a roller that you can put behind your ears or on your neck, try this aromatherapy roller for £4.19.
“Would recommend this product to anyone, anytime, anywhere. The best thing I’ve ever purchased. I sleep like a log every time I use it and wake up refreshed not like when you take other sleeping aids. The scent isn’t like an artificial lavender scent either it smells as if you had a lavender plant rubbed on your pillow.”

Sunrise Alarm Clock
Are you also sick of waking up to a loud alarm right from your deepest sleep and being unable to get out of bed? If that’s the case, this alarm clock will be your new friend. It lights up gradually before your set alarm time and dims before set bed time, making waking up and going to bed a lot easier. Get yours here for £21.24.
“I hate waking up with the beep beep beep of an alarm and through British winters the sun will not wake me up in time for work so I invested in this perfect little bit of kit. It wakes my body up naturally and I genuinely feel the difference in energy throughout the day. Love it and could never go back to the old alarm style”
