How to have a good night&#8217;s sleep starts with great PJs. I always harp on about <a href="https://cyberjammies.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cyberjammies</a>, with their head office based in Chelmsford. You will NEVER regret buying from them, I promise. I ordered this <a href="https://cyberjammies.com/products/cove-turtle-print-cropped-pyjama-set?_pos=4&amp;_sid=1a09b845a&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cove Turtle Set</a> just last week. Brentwood&#8217;s <a href="https://newdayoriginals.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Day Originals</a> also has a lot of great nightwear, like these <a href="https://newdayoriginals.co.uk/collections/pyjamas/products/long-pyjamas-black-paradise" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Black Paradise Long Pyjamas</a> (half price, whoop!) .

<a href="https://maldonsoap.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Maldon Soap Company</a>, located in, er, Maldon, has a <a href="https://maldonsoap.co.uk/product/luxury-bath-soak/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luxury Bath Soak</a> perfect for your pre-kip o&#8217;clock routine. It’s made from organic petals, butters and oats, with the team adding jasmine, lavender, rose, geranium and ylang ylang essential oils. You also get a cotton bag to pop the mix in, so petals don&#8217;t end up in crevices no petals should end up in.

Next on our how to get a good night&#8217;s sleep list is swapping bright lights for something soothing. Helen Mitchell owns <a href="https://olivetreehome.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chelmsford’s Olivetreehome</a>, creating candles, home fragrance, body washes and lotions. This <a href="https://olivetreehome.co.uk/collections/the-boutique-collection/products/boutique-scented-soy-200g-candle?variant=39672210915405" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Boutique Scented Soy Candle</a> has several scents to choose from, but there&#8217;s also plenty of other treats on the site to help you snooze, from wax melts to diffusers and more.

The number one factor for how to get a good night&#8217;s sleep is, of course, your bed. The Sleep Foundation says to replace your mattress every six to eight years, so if yours is past its prime head to Colchester’s <a href="https://www.hatfields.com/bedroom/beds.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hatfields furniture store</a> and check out their stock, including this <a href="https://www.hatfields.com/dahlia.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dahlia</a>. I bought my bed here last year and still exhale a happy sigh every time I bed down.

Stress affects sleep, and while I can’t eradicate that to-do list, I can point you in the right direction for TLC. Newport&#8217;s <a href="https://www.vanilla-spa.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Vanilla Spa &amp; Hair Studio</a> has a great <a href="https://www.vanilla-spa.com/packages" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Drift Away day package</a> (£135pp), with a therapist using Reiki healing followed by a 75 minute full body and hot oil scalp massage. Next comes a classic express facial to gently awaken you, all finished with a soothing cup of Tea Pigs tea. Ever been woken from a massage by your therapist to find your mouth wide open? You’re not alone.
