Cosy season is upon us, so naturally, with these shorter days we're thinking more about our favourite ways to snuggle up.

1. Find a dimming lamp you love

According to the CDC, "the light/dark cycle of the sun has a powerful effect on the circadian clock, sleep, and alertness".
Do your circadian clock a favour by dimming lights 2 hours before bedtime to when you wake up in the morning. Starting your day with bright or natural light can help you feel more alert and awake throughout the day.
We suggest investing in a dimming lamp that you love to help you create a soothing bedtime ambiance.

2. Try a 20 minute bedtime yoga practice

4. Sleep in comfortable & cooling fabric

Our Heavenly Pj's are made in a cooling, blended charmeuse fabric. Added stretch makes these sets even more ultra soft for sleeeping in. To top it off, a wide leg cut and silky finish will prevent you from waking up in a tangled, twisted knot (if you know, you know).

5. Practise sleep affirmations

If you're one of the many people who's thoughts can get in the way of sleep at night, this natural sleep aide might just be for you. Sleep affirmations utilize the power of positive thinking. By speaking affirmations before falling alseep we can program our minds, welcome relaxation and prepare the body for deep rest. Develop 4-5 of your own personalized mantras to re-write your inner dialogue and speak calm into your thoughts.
Here's a few to help you get started (found here). Feel free to personalize these to you:

• “I will sleep soundly all through the night.” 

• “I will enjoy deep, restorative sleep tonight.”

• “My bedroom is a place of relaxation and deep sleep.”

• “In my bedroom, my thoughts naturally detach and slow down.” 

• “I will get up as soon as my alarm goes off and feel fresh and alert.”
