We all know the benefits of a good night’s sleep - improved memory, performance and better overall health, to name a few. Reduce your stress and calm the mind with these simple rituals that are guaranteed to provide a tranquil night’s sleep.

Relax with aromatherapy

“I like to step into a warm bath or shower and relax in the powers of aromatherapy. Massage the oils onto your torso. Cup your hands, bring them to your face and inhale deeply three times.”

Dr. Neil Stanley PhD, Aromatherapy Associates Sleep Expert

Write down your thoughts

“Before sleep I do some journaling, making a list of things that inspired me or made me laugh during the day. Appreciation for all in my life is key for me.”

Elle Macpherson, Co-founder of Welleco

Practice breathwork and meditation

“I use yoga breathing techniques to clear my mind. I think that lying there relaxing is allowing me to rest, and meditation techniques help to put restless thoughts aside.”

Kathy Phillips, Founder of THIS WORKS

Drink a cup of herbal tea

“Ayurvedic herbs such as brahmi can help calm the mind, and chamomile tea taken at bed time benefits many as well.”

Shrankhla Holecek, Founder of Uma Oils

Create the perfect environment

“I put my phone away at least an hour before bedtime - I find Instagram, emails and texting keep me awake all night! I also sleep on a silk pillowcase and use a sleep mask - it sends signals to the brain that it’s time to unwind.”
