Maketo time dream

Our minds are amazing. A wide awake brain can make decisions in a nano-second. They continuously learn, remember, create and provide us with enough thinking power for a lifetime Just like every other part of our body, our conscious mind needs some down time. Sleep gives our mind the time it needs to drift a while and often, that is when the real magic happens We’re on a mission to help you sleep better and dream bigger. We hope you enjoy the adventure...

Did you know that...

...we

dream in colour?

That didn’t used to be the case – when most TVs were black and white some people reported that dreams were monochrome too Now we live in a multi-coloured world our dreams have altered to match

Tired ?

Over a third of us are suffering from insufficient sleep at any one time. The problem is poor sleep leads to poor mood, poor skin and before long poor health. That’s why it makes sense to making getting a good night’s sleep a top priority. Start here…

Recognise caffeine and alcohol sleep disrupters Ban tech. from the bedroom Soak in a warm, scented bath before bed Weave aromatherapy oils in to your night-time routine Make your bedroom, cool, dark, quiet and comfy Speak to your GP if unexplained sleep issues linger

Dreama while...

Nano-rests

Build in bite-sized rests throughout your day

Walk & Talk Step outside in to the fresh air to make phone calls

Rest your Eyes Put down those screens and pick up a book

Stretch Alarm

Use the timer on your phone to remind yourself to get up and stretch every 40mins or so

Zoned Out Schedule chunks of time in your day to drift and dream

Do Not Disturb

Have a no-go zone where everyone knows you are not to be interrupted and spend time there doing whatever you want

Bedroom of your dreams

Top tips to turn your bedroom in to a haven for sleep

EMBRACE THE DARK

JUST WARM ENOUGH

Block out the light with blackout blinds and lined curtains. Banish any lightemitting electronics including anything with a lit up standby button

Temperature has a big impact on the quality of our sleep so adjust the heating and bedding through the seasons to stay around the 19oC mark

SHHH!

COSY UP

If you can, choose a room in the house that’s nice and quiet.

Damp down noise with insulation or double glazing if you can. Soft fabrics dampen down noise too so layer up

Dress your bedroom for comfort and to bring you peace of mind.

Choose colours that calm and objects that make you smile. All the better to dream…

A bath before bed doesn’t just make sure you go to sleep clean. It also helps body and mind stay healthy and well. Here are five things a soak in the tub can do: Lower the blood pressure Relax body tension Soothe painful joints Stimulate the release of endorphins Leave your skin super soft and well nourished

All our natural bath oils and bath salts contain nature’s most soothing essential oils to help you relax and go to bed feeling relaxed and ready for sleep

Super-soothing

Lavender

Lavender ticks all the boxes when it come to sleep. As well as soothing the mind, it works like magic to ease tired and aching muscles. As well as being an effective sedative, lavender oil can be very skin-friendly – helping balance skin’s sebum production and encourage healthy new cells to form. It also is used to help healing and prevent scarring. To create our soothing DREAM aromatherapy blend, we’ve combined it with Bergamot, Cedarwood and Chamomile oils to add a fresh twist
