What time should I go to bed? What are some tips on how to sleep better? These are just a few questions that linger in our minds when we’re tired but can’t seem to drift off. Sleep. It’s something that most of us would like more of, but finding the time can be a difficult balancing act.

What happens when you don’t get enough sleep?

Aside from a short temper and trouble focusing, lack of sleep can also contribute to a number of health issues. While there are factors we can’t change, there are things we can do to improve the quality of the sleep we do get. Creating a relaxing bedtime routine can help us to switch off and sleep a little bit better.

According to America’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/resources/infographic/sleep.htm">one in three adults in the U.S. don’t get enough sleep</a>. Not getting enough sleep and/or not getting good quality sleep affects those of us north of the border as well. According to Statistics Canada, <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/publications/healthy-living/canadian-adults-getting-enough-sleep-infographic.html">one in two Canadian adults have trouble going to sleep and/or staying asleep</a>.

Considering <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/resources/infographic/sleep.htm">it’s recommended that adults get at least seven or more hours of sleep a night</a>, we’ve got a lot of Zzz's to catch up on!

What makes a good nighttime routine so important?

Setting yourself up for a successful day means ensuring you have a restful evening and plenty of sleep. Taking the time to create a nightly routine  that help you wind down will make a world of difference for your sleep quality, mood and energy the next day.&nbsp;

Did you know your body’s temperature plays a big role in your quality of sleep? Being too warm or too cold can disrupt your circadian rhythm as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3427038/#:~:text=The%20core%20body%20temperature%20(Tcore,the%20increasing%20phases%20%5B7%5D." target="_blank">sleep is most likely to occur when your body temperature decreases</a>. For this reason, a night shower might help regulate your temperature just before bed. A shower may help clear not only your mind but your pores as well, allowing your skin to breathe and to do its thing (regulate blood flow) while you snooze away.

Your skin becomes more porous at night and while you rest it repairs and regenerates. Removing makeup and the day’s dirt will make it easier for your skin to do its work. Oil-based cleansers like <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/ultrabland-facial-cleanser">Ultrabland Facial Cleanser</a> and <a href="https://www.lush.com/us/en_us/p/sleepy-face-naked-cleansing-balm" target="_blank">Sleepy Face Naked Cleansing Balm</a> both gently clean your face while moisturising it as well to keep skin hydrated as you sleep. And for your body, <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/c/sleep-better">relaxing body care products</a> will do the same and leave you smelling like a dream.&nbsp;

Give yourself a little self-love, because wearing perfumes to bed should be a part of everyone’s nighttime routine. Spritizing your skin, pillows and bedsheets with <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/c/fragrances">perfumes</a>&nbsp;and/or <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/c/body-sprays">body sprays</a> may help improve not only your mood but will also set the stage for relaxation.

Meditation and breathing exercises can really help de-stress. Whether you’re in the bath, shower or sitting in your living room, finding time to refocus and ground yourself can make a positive difference in your night and day.

We all have different versions of rest and relaxation, but what never seems to change is the “me time” involved—and the moments of peace and serenity that come with it. Whether your version of relaxing is a long soak in the tub (with your favorite book or playlist) or you prefer to just veg out on the couch, we got you covered. <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/c/sleep-better">Shop products for every step of your evening routine</a> that will help you sleep tighter, so you can rise brighter.

If your days are long and seemingly endless and you’re looking for an evening routine that’s simple yet effective, our minimalist night shower routine might be right up your alley.

Hop in the shower and wash away your worries with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/sleepy-soap">Sleepy Soap</a> or <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/sleepy-shower-gel">Sleepy Shower Gel</a>&nbsp;which softens not only your skin but also calms your mind after a long and tiring day. As you lather on this soap, close your eyes and take in the calming aroma of floral lavender and sweet tonka essential oils blended with soothing oat milk and floral ylang ylang.

&nbsp;Afterwards, take a moment to calm your skin with&nbsp;<a href="https://lush.com/uk/en/p/angels-on-bare-skin-cleanser">Angels On Bare Skin Fresh Cleanser’s</a>&nbsp;heavenly blend of lavender, rose and chamomile oils. This scrub leaves your skin balanced, soft and renewed from a chaotic day.

&nbsp;Lock-in moisture with <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/sleepy-body-lotion">Sleepy Body Lotion</a> and sprinkle on <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/sleepy-dust-dusting-powder">Sleepy Dust Dusting Powder</a> on your skin and pillows for a Sleepy scent that’ll have you drifting off to dreamland in no time.

Pro tip: For extra relaxation, double down with <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/twilight-body-spray">Twilight Sleepy Body Spray</a> coupled with a few minutes of deep, mindful breathing exercises.

There’s nothing better than a long, glorious bath to help you relax from head to toe. For those who have a bit more time on their hands and really want to treat themselves to a luxuriously calming night—this bath routine is for you.

First, light a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lush.com/us/en_us/p/sleepy-scented-candle" target="_blank">Sleepy Scented Candle</a> to set the mood.

Then run a warm bath and drop in either <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/twilight-bath-bomb">Twilight Bath Bomb</a> or<a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/sleepy-bubble-bar"> Sleepy Bubble Bar</a>&nbsp;and surround yourself in lavender froth or dreamy-sweet bubbles. Twilight’s dusky hues of pink and purple will color your water as plastic-free shimmer make you feel like you’re stargazing on a quiet summer night. Meanwhile, Sleepy’s sky-high bubbles will keep the celestial vibes going as you sink into sweet, sweet relaxation.

Once you’ve settled in, take your time and gently scrub every bit of you with <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/co-mingle-body-scrub">Co-Mingle Body Scrub</a>, a three-in-one superstar that exfoliates, cleanses and moisturises all at the same time.

Next, apply <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/beauty-sleep-face-and-body-mask">Beauty Sleep Face And Body Mask</a> to nourish and hydrate your skin and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5QmupByvr4">pair it with this guided meditation by mindfulness practitioner, Rose Eskafi</a>.

Once you’ve hopped out of your bath and can feel the weight of the world lift from your shoulders, apply <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/full-of-grace-facial-serum">Full Of Grace Naked Facial Serum</a> (an evening essential) to hydrate your face with tropical butters and floral oils.

And be sure that you’re tending to your body as well with <a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/deep-sleep-massage-bar">Deep Sleep Magnesium Massage Bar</a> for a triple dose of relaxing lavender as well as calming magnesium.

Alternatively,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/dream-cream-hand-and-body-lotion">Dream Cream Body Lotion</a> (great for all skin types) provides dreamy hydration.

At this point, we’re hoping that you’re so relaxed you’re melting as quickly as a sundae on a hot summer day.&nbsp;&nbsp;
