From pillow spray to scented pod, we test three products to help you sleep | The Sun

WE all enjoyed an extra hour in bed last night when the clocks went back.

Studies from the Centre for Human Sleep Science in California found that an extra hour’s sleep boosts memory and is good for body and mind.

And research in the British Medical Journal revealed that there was a 21 per cent reduction in heart attacks after the clocks go back.

Jane Atkinson looks at the best aids to help you get a good night’s kip.

PILLOW

The ergonomic groove keeps your spine correctly aligned and the pillow is designed with an underhang so that your shoulders can rest comfortably when sleeping on your back.

The pillow is also an effective aid for conditions including arthritis, fibromyalgia, sciatica and whiplash.

It’s incredibly comfortable and while I’m not a huge fan of memory foam, it gave me a brilliant night’s sleep.

SCENT TO SLEEP

4

NEOM’S Perfect Night’s Sleep vapour pod contains a blend of 11 essential oils including lavender, rosewood, cedarwood, patchouli, chamomile and orange.

Designed to promote sleep, the pod releases scent into the atmosphere to calm and induce rest in the user.

Made with 100 per cent natural ingredients, the pod can scent a room for seven hours before needing to be topped up.

And once you have the pod, you can get oils to promote calmness, to destress and to improve mood.

The scent is very gentle and not overpowering at all.

SPRITZ AND SNOOZE

THE Sleep SOS pillow spray from the Drowsy Sleep Company smells amazing.

This award-winning synthetic-free spray is a mix of bergamot, lavender, geranium, ylang ylang, vetiver, cedarwood and patchouli which all have sleep-inducing properties and smell heavenly mixed together.

I adore this spray and now spritz it onto my pillow 15 minutes before I get into bed.

Unlike some other products, the fragrance lasts for hours and it helps to make your bedroom smell like a fancy spa or hotel.
