This Sleeptember, we’ve been diving deep into the world of sleep, discussing the importance of rest, how to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary, and which BrandAlley products can help encourage a blissful slumber.
This Friday, to kick-off a (hopefully) relaxing weekend, we thought we’d ask our Marketing Team their tips on getting a good night’s sleep.
Tiffany Espina, Social Media Executive
“The one thing that I always must do is cool the room down either by opening the windows or using a little fan for a nice breeze. When my mind is racing, I’ll listen to a podcast, usually a topic that I won’t get too invested in, so I can still fall asleep! Lastly, I like to be in bed with dimmed lights for at least an hour before I’m meant to go to sleep, just chilling and unwinding.”
Michelle Hurney, CRM Acquisition Manager
“Get a silk eye mask – it’s a game changer! Especially if I need to sleep on a train journey or flight. When I need my beauty sleep, I use a silk pillowcase, then cover my face, neck & chest in a decent retinol. Try it, you’ll wake up with the face of a baby angel in the morning!”
Retinol Vita C Power Serum 30ml – Kate Somerville – £55
Mulberry Silk Pillowcase – Cocoonzzz – £41
Margaux Fleury, Social Media Executive
“CBD oil is my go-to before bed, or even when I just need to relax! Like Tiffany, I’ll listen to podcasts that my partner chooses for me (mainly so I know I will NOT be interested!) and I tend to fall asleep quite easily.”
Hannah Wright, Copywriter & Content Executive
“I love to fall asleep watching my favourite TV show, Friends. I find it gets me in a comfortable frame of mind and ready for relaxation. I have a very low lamp on, get in my cosiest PJs and snuggle under the covers. Bliss!”
Zara Alderton, Marketing Assistant
“If I want a good night’s sleep, I’ll have a hot shower, make a peppermint tea, get in my cosiest PJs, and read a good book!”
Libby Jeffery, Affiliates & Partnerships Executive
“My bedtime routine is never complete without running a luxurious bath. Having a soak in a nice hot bath before you go to sleep is the perfect way to relax and unwind after a long, stressful day. I always add my favourite salts and bath oils, light some candles and pop on a relaxing playlist, allowing me to wind down without any distractions and jump straight into bed for the perfect night’s sleep.”
Revive Evening Bath & Shower Oil 55ml – Aromatherapy Associates – £30
Feel Good Vibes 3 Wick Candle – NEOM Organics – £31
Spa Bath Salt Indulgence – Bahoma London – £8
Alexandra Vancea, Head of Marketing
“Brown noise really helps me drift off to sleep after a busy day. I have a Philips Hue smart lamp, which can be altered to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere. I also change my bedding every two days – nothing beats fresh sheets!”
Patience Ssebuwufu, Assistant Copywriter
“After a long day, the first thing on my mind is to relax and unwind. I’ll have a lusciously long bath, light a candle and put on a fresh pair of pyjamas – and a silk bonnet for my curls, of course!”
