The one remedy for a sleepless night
A sleepless night is seriously frustrating. While you're lying in bed watching the minutes tick by until that early morning alarm, and hoping that soon you'll nod off, you know that your body and mind won't be at their best the next day. But what's the solution to sleepless nights?
Forget counting sheep, try This Works Deep Sleep Stress Less, £12. A natural remedy in a handy rollerball that contains a soothing blend of aromatherapy oils including eucalyptus (to cleanse the mind), relaxing frankincense and sleep-inducing lavender oil.
One w&h staffer who struggles to get a full 8 hours found that they feel asleep more easily and woke up less frequently during the night after using it. All you need to do is apply to your wrists before bed and drift away...sounds like the dream to us!
