Lack of sleep = a big, bad disaster. Not only does it put extra stress on your body, but it also increases your cortisol levels, resulting in a tired, cranky, and older-looking you. Yes, that’s right. Not enough shut-eye causes a dull, lackluster complexion and faster skin aging as it’s during your sleep that skin goes through vital repair and rejuvenation processes – they don’t call it “beauty sleep” for nothing.
So, if counting sheep isn’t quite cutting it, we’ve rounded up the best sleep-inducing sprays that have been specially formulated to help you drift off. Bonne nuit.
Trust Sunday Riley to launch one of the chicest pillow sprays in the business. Inside each beautiful blue bottle, you’ll find a mind and body-balancing blend of lemon verbena, lavender, vetiver, petitgrain, and neroli, which work together to not only promote a deep sense of calm but also to uplift and soothe the spirit. Talk about ending your day on a positive note.
Packed full of sleep-inducing essential oils (14, to be exact) to help relax the body and mind, this organic sleep spray by Neom will fast become your nighttime best friend. A heavenly blend of English lavender, sweet basil, chamomile, patchouli, and jasmine, it smells sublime and actually works – with 88 percent of testers on the Neom Sleep Program crediting it for a better night’s sleep. The proof is in the pudding, so they say – and this one comes with a big dose of dreams.
Supermodels swear by a good night’s sleep to leave them looking and feeling their best, so it’s hardly surprising that Elle Macpherson developed her very own sleep spray. Harnessing the power of Australian essential oils – including lavender, vetiver, and chamomile – it helps reduce anxiety and frayed nerves whilst promoting deep sleep and healthy sleep patterns. Hey, if it’s good enough for Elle, it’s good enough for us.
This pillow mist packs a serious sleep-inducing punch thanks to L’Occitane’s unique and effective distillation process, which captures the highest concentration of a plant’s benefits. Its 100 percent natural scent is divine, leaving your pillow lightly scented with notes of lavender, bergamot, mandarin, sweet orange, and geranium – which all help to calm the mind and send you to sleep. For the ultimate nighttime routine, team with the accompanying ‘Aromachologie’ shower gel and body cream.
This powerful pillow spray is clinically proven to restore your natural sleep pattern thanks to naturally encapsulated lavender, which stimulates alpha waves in the brain to help you relax and unwind. In fact, it’s so good that 89 percent of people with prescribed sleep medication said they’d turn to this instead of pills. When it comes to a product that delivers results, This Works.
In the words of brand creator Michelle Roques-O’Neil, “Sleep is the portal to our unconscious. It’s when we rest our minds and heal our bodies, but it’s also when we dream. Dreams allow us to problem-solve and make sense of our day – they can also guide us along our spiritual path”. This is why she created this spiritual spray to help you slumber. Infused with a calming concoction of essential oils and floral waters – including purifying frankincense, sweet orange to reduce anxiety, patchouli to relax the body, and lapis lazuli to clear negative energy and thoughts – it helps keep you centered and grounded whilst promoting peaceful sleep and energy alignment.
If you’re after something a little different from your traditional lavender-based spray, then Cowshed’s dreamy offering is for you. Despite its surprising citrusy scent, which is all thanks to a blend of lemon balm and lemon myrtle essential oils, it works wonders at relieving stress and helping you relax into a good night’s sleep. It also contains St. John’s wort and Lady’s Mantle, which are known to help ease anxiety and frayed nerves.
This vegan, cruelty-free sleep savior from REN was inspired by natural fragrances used in ancient times that help combat insomnia and worried minds. A beautiful and blissful blend of anxiety-reducing lavender, soothing frankincense, and a natural sedative known as hops, it has an earthy yet floral scent that will send you straight to the Land of Nod.
