Inside Our Nighttime Arsenal for Better Sleep
Whether you swear by the right mattress, a hot cup of tea, or ambient whale noises, good prep begets better sleep. Some of the things we keep on hand (or dream about) include: our bath soak, lots of silk, and a mushroom-laden hot cocoa. Your twelve-step program for better sleep starts here. Good night.

HOME
RUNIf you feel a restless night coming on, try taking one of these chews before bed. Formulated with sleep-friendly melatonin, L-tryptophan (an amino acid that the brain converts into serotonin and melatonin), and vitamin B6, they will do exactly what the name promises. Plus, the mint-chocolate flavor tastes as good as turndown service at your favorite hotel.

COCONUT QUEEN
Adding another jar of coconut oil to your inventory sounds excessive. But this one—cold-pressed, alkaline, peppermint-flavored—is our favorite for oil-pulling, an ancient Ayurvedic practice for whiter teeth and healthier gums. A bottle of oil comes with a bamboo spoon and a tube of lip balm to make the whole process of swishing oil in your mouth feel a touch more glamorous.

HEAD CASE
This pillowcase will make you wish more things came wrapped in silk. It’s ivory and spun out of 100 percent mulberry silk. It’s not just for show. The fibers in Slip’s silk case don’t catch or crease like cotton, for smooth skin and hair.

A gift from former beauty editor and makeup artist Arabella Preston: Votary’s pillow spray is packed with aromatherapeutic botanicals, like lavender, rose, and chamomile. A spritz on your pillow should keep your head in the clouds.

SOAKER
We’re all about the nighttime bath. We made the G.Nite Bedtime Bath Soak with a mix of valerian root, Australian sandalwood, and magnesium citrate. Just add a cup to a hot bath and let your body soak for twenty minutes to induce a state of calm. Then: Waddle off to bed.

NIGHT CAP
Four Sigmatic’s take on
hot cocoa includes organic
cocoa powder, the
adaptogen reishi to support
the body’s sleep cycles,
and a dash of cinnamon and
cardamom. If things go bump in the night, mix one packet
with a cupful of hot water or your milk of choice, and: presto.

LIGHTS OUT
Upgrade your eye mask. This one is silk, padded, and large enough to take up half of your face, just in case any light tries to sneak its way in. Consider the finer details—like the tropical print or scrunched elastic band in the back—a bonus: You’ll be too fast asleep to notice.

FACE OFF
Take four microexfoliating minerals (quartz, garnet, alumina, and silica), add a healthy dose of glycolic acid and a superfood ingredient (Australian kakadu plum), and you have the recipe for a knockout exfoliator. The Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator works through both chemical and physical exfoliation to buff away dead, dull, and dry skin. Meaning that you wake up to the sunrise with softer, smoother skin, like magic.
