I’ve no idea how I missed this! I love This Works; the Deep Sleep Bath Soak is one of the most effective sleep promoting bath products I’ve ever used, so if you know someone who finds it hard to get a decent night’s kip, this is the very thing. It’s a luxury set, priced at £65 but on the site you get a free Pillow Spray with orders over £40, plus if you bought all the things individually it would cost £10 more than the set put together. Anyway, what price a good night’s sleep?
My sleep is always a bit hit and miss but I find that a couple of things really help – first, if you do steep in a warm bath (Deep Sleep Soak contains lavender, chamomile and vetivert), go straight to bed afterwards.. don’t faff about downstairs to undo all the relaxing goodness! The other thing I do if I really can’t drift off is count – the same as the old counting sheep thing, but in my mind I draw the numbers out really slowly and start again if I get distracted. It sounds silly, but actually focussing on mentally drawing numbers is harder than it sounds.. you end up having to start again because thoughts will crowd your head but if you re-focus and start the count again you will drop off. The thing is not to get frustrated with it and just to let it happen..

Counting is good but counting backwards is even better. My yoga teacher was having us count backwards from 50 during some relaxation session but for sleeping at night I start from 100.
This sounds absolutely “dreamy”. I agree with you about the counting. It has helped me quite a few times.
The counting trick worked really well for me a few years ago when I’d want to stay up texting. I’d say ‘if you can count to 100 without missing a number or falling asleep you can check your phone’ – most times I fell asleep!
I think with the amount of Christmas stress at the moment this is really needed!
I wish this worked for me… I’ve got the bath salts and they just don’t.
When my insomnia isn’t too bad, I find the Clarins Relax body cream can help.
