This cotton nightwear is perfect for warmer nights, getting a good night’s sleep can help you feel more refreshed and ready to take on the day. Being uncomfortable and too warm in whilst trying to sleep can really set you up for a bad nights sleep. It is important to follow good sleep hygiene in order to encourage a soothing nights sleep. Good sleep hygiene is all about giving yourself in the best chance to sleep well each and every night. There are lots of ways to help you sleep soundly; from taking a bath, gentle exercise and avoiding caffeine before bed to keeping a regular bedtime and wind-down routine. Optimising your sleep schedule, pre-bed routine, and daily routines is part of harnessing habits to improve quality sleep.  A pleasant uncluttered calm bedroom environment is also conducive to a good nights rest. Having a good sleep schedule normalises sleep as an essential part of your day and gets your brain and body accustomed to getting the full amount of sleep that you need. Ideas to help you with this include.

• Have a fixed wake-up time regardless of whether it’s a weekday or weekend, this encourages a rhythm of consistent sleep.

• Prioritise sleep and create a target bedtime based on your fixed wake-up time and do your best to be ready for bed around that time each night.

• Make gradual adjustments and make small, step-by-step adjustments of up to an hour or two so that you can get adjusted and settle into a new schedule.

• Keep your routine consistent, following the same steps each night, including things like putting on your pyjamas and brushing your teeth, can reinforce in your mind that it’s bedtime.

• Factor in time for winding down and take advantage of whatever puts you in a state of calm such as soft music, light stretching, reading, and/or relaxation exercises.

• Dim your lights and try to keep away from bright lights because they can hinder the production of melatonin, a hormone that the body creates to facilitate sleep.

• Unplug from electronics, try and build in a 30-60 minute pre-bed buffer time that is device-free. Devices cause mental stimulation that is hard to shut off and also generate blue light that may decrease melatonin production.

• It helps to have a healthy mental connection between being in bed and actually being asleep. For that reason, if after 20 minutes you haven’t gotten to sleep, get up and stretch, read, or do something else calming in low light before trying to fall asleep again. Being too warm and uncomfortable can also cause lots of moving around and evading sleep. This is why it is important to wear soft breathable nightwear that allows your body to feel comfortable and not be aware of any constriction or irritation.

All nightwear is hand crafted from 100% high quality cotton, it is beautiful to look at, comfortable and gentle on your skin.
