Promising Review: "I've been using this app for a few years now and it's the perfect little tool to have on hand when I'm experiencing one of those 'toss and turn-y' nights. I just put on a sleep story and I'm usually out like a light before it ends. My favourite of the lot is The Lavender Valley — honestly, trust me on this one, you'll feel calm and knock out in no time at all. The app also features great white noise options that turn off automatically, so you can doze off to the sound of a crackling fire or gentle rainfall."

If you're the kind of person who tosses and turns a lot before going to bed, this weighted blanket will change your life. It feels like being tucked in, or cuddling someone, except better because you don't need to deal with another person.
Weight is evenly distributed throughout the stitching of the blanket, making it feel as though you’re being hugged as you sleep. This blanket uses sand pellets for the weight distribution rather than fibre, so that you can use it all year round without feeling too hot.Read about my experience using a weighted blanket for the first time here!

Promising Review: "After downloading this app, I haven't used anything else to set my alarm. I originally got it because I wanted to know if I was a snorer (spoiler alert, I am) and I haven't looked back since. It not only gives you great info on what your quality of sleep was like, but it even gives you an indication of how many hours you slept based on your movement and sound. Since using it, I can honestly say my sleep has gotten astronomically better."

Promising review: "LIFX lighting is the best purchase I've ever made – both for myself and as gifts for all my friends. Not only can you easily create really fun environments with lighting (party mode, relaxing mode, movie night mode), but it's also really good for things such as sleep hygiene. At 9 p.m. I turn on orange/red lighting and my body knows it's time to wind down and it's much easier to fall asleep. It's perfect if you need to switch your brain to work mode as well. There's a sleep timer, fun effects and a setting that makes the lighting react to the music you're playing! It's so easy to use and honestly it makes being at home so much more of a VIBE."
