The power of sleep is not to be underestimated. In fact, it’s now one of the largest industries in the wellness sector as people are becoming more aware of the importance of getting enough shut-eye every night.
We round up some of our personal favourite pre-bedtime necessities from sleep accessories to nighttime skincare – for an undisturbed eight-hours of sleep.
RE.VITYL Release Kit
RE.VITYL was launched as a revolutionary sleep enhancing brand, containing 100% natural crystals to help you snooze better. The RE.LEASE Eye Mask and Roll-On kit is a quick fix to improving sleep quality and is said to help meditation too. Crafted from luscious mulberry silk, the eye mask is infused with BioCrystal and blocks out any light from the outside, whilst the essential oil roll-on (a blend of Clary Sage, Lavender, Sweet Orange, Scots Pine and Rosemary) aims to reduce fatigue and bring out relaxation and clarity to the mind. Take this kit – which comes with a cute reusable, wood paper bag – wherever you go to relieve and de-stress as you prepare for a deep sleep.

Jo Malone
Originally born in London, luxury label Jo Malone sets the bar for immaculate fragrances and has reached the worldwide market, celebrated for its signature scents. One of the best ways to unwind after a long day’s work, is to come home to a refreshing aroma (and possibly run a bath). The Lime Basil and Mandarin diffuser is a peppery basil and aromatic white thyme scent, a signature fragrance which brings you to the scents of limes from a Caribbean island. Jo Malone’s diffusers envelope their scents through the entire room to indulge in the full sensory experience. For optimal diffusion, use all ten reeds at once.
If you’re more of a candle person, Jo Malone has it all. The basil and neroli home candle is reminiscent of quintessential British charm – a city which is known for its adventurous spontaneity and uplifting atmosphere. Paying tribute to its hometown, this candle features floral neroli notes with a wink of basil for an opulent, aromatic pre-sleep ritual.

Sip on your cuppa just before bed to ignite a conscious calm and wellbeing, and when bedtime calls, you’ll fall into deep sleep from the health-conscious ingredients, which include the Skullcap for assisting the nervous system to the passionflower, a botanical herbal blend.

If sleeping naked isn’t your thing, silk pajamas are your alternative option. The brand caters to confident, modern women, offering a variety of comfortable linen and linen-blend sleepwear. What’s more – each piece is conveniently machine washable, compared to some other silk products on the market. We love this Washable Silk Set, a matching duo which keeps you cool and cosy no matter the temperature (thanks to its thermo-regulating functions).
