We’re all on the lookout for a good night’s sleep and ways to feel more rested. One simple way to support that deeper, more settled sleep is through sleep aids… and you’ve probably heard about pillow sprays.
It’s Stress Awareness Month, so what better time to try one and gently support your wind-down routine? Especially if your mind tends to race the moment your head hits the pillow…
Fragrance can have a powerful impact on how you feel, thanks to the limbic system (the part of the brain linked to emotions and memories). Inhaling a calming scent sends signals straight to your emotional centre, helping to trigger feelings of comfort and ease. By using a pillow mist, you’re giving your body a cue to slow down and relax.
Simply spray a fine mist onto your pillow before bed. Then take a slow breath in, letting the scent settle as you get comfortable… you may find yourself drifting off that little bit easier.
Here are two we love, depending on your budget. Both feature beautifully calming lavender and chamomile:

This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray
A cult classic and for good reason! This blend of lavender, chamomile and vetivert is designed to help you drift off into a deeper, more settled sleep. This is slightly more of a potent scent compared to the Feather and Down one, but they’re both lovely and calming.
This Works also offer a Sleep Spray Plus, a fast-acting, motion-activated option if you tend to be a restless sleeper.
Sometimes it’s the smallest rituals that make the biggest difference to how you rest.
Don’t just get yourself ready for bed… get your bed ready too.
How do you like to wind down at the end of the day?
