expert advice

"Wake up well - get outside and view morning light for 10-30 minutes each day. This triggers the release of dopamine and cortisol for improved alertness and focus."

geek mode

The type of light we view, and the time of day we are exposed to it, have tremendous effects on our sleep. Getting outside in sunlight for just 10-30 minutes every day (as soon after waking as possible) is not only an uplifting way to start your day, but it triggers the release of dopamine and encourages cortisol levels to peak early in the day. Thought cortisol was related to stress? It is, but it also signals to the body that it is time to wake up, helps boost the immune system and increases our ability to focus, setting us up for whatever the day has in store.

Some tips on morning light exposure:
For maximum effectiveness, do not wear sunglasses when getting your morning light, but protect the eyes by not staring directly at the sun; eyeglasses and contacts are fine.
The amount of time needed outside depends on the weather; on a clear day, 10 minutes is enough, but closer to 30 minutes is best for cloudy or rainy days.

clinically tested

Our Deep Sleep Functional Fragrance has been tested in an fMRI brain imaging study which indicated the potential to encourage a pre-disposition towards sleep.*

geek mode

Our Functional Fragrances are tested against a placebo and measured in clinical studies using fMRI and ECG (electrocardiogram). Our Functional Fragrances can be seen as having additional physiological benefits, due to interaction with the limbic system, which in turn can stimulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. As part of a programme to understand how different aromas can stimulate different emotional responses, This Works, in collaboration with Professor Gaby Badre, identified a library of Functional Fragrances shown to have a relationship with emotions, such as joy (Perfect), relaxation and reward (Love Sleep), alertness (Morning Expert) and stress reduction (Stress Check).

Our Deep Sleep Functional Fragrance has been tested in an fMRI brain imaging study which indicated brain activation in areas associated with emotions, pleasure and calmness and concluded the fragrance had the potential encourage a pre-disposition towards sleep.*

FAQs

What’s the difference between Sleep Plus and Deep Sleep spray? Can I use them together?

Our deep sleep pillow spray is designed to help you fall asleep faster and our motion-activated sleep plus pillow spray is designed to help you stay asleep for longer as it is released throughout the night. They can be used together or separately.

Can the sleep spray be used for my baby or do I need to purchase the baby-specific bottle?

Baby sleep pillow spray has a milder formulation due to babys delicate skin and is recommended for infants aged 6 months and up, children aged three and upwards can use our deep sleep pillow spray.

Why do my bath salts look a deeper yellow colour?

The colour variation is due to the natural cold pressed and essential oils that are within the formulation which do have some natural colour variation from batch to batch/harvest to harvest. Over time the essential oils can turn darker/more yellow which is natural and to be expected. The product is safe for use.

How should I use my bath salts?

We recommend adding a spoonful of deep sleep beauty soak bath salts as you run your bath.

our Superblend

At the heart of each formulation is a Superblend; a clean and expertly blended three-element ingredient system of naturally derived, scientifically proven ingredients at therapeutic levels.

Our Functional Fragrance blend has been shown to prepare you for sleep, dispel anxiety and improve restorative sleep.

Aside from smelling luxuriously inviting, our Deep Sleep Functional Fragrance interacts with the limbic system — the area of the brain associated with emotions, pleasure and calmness — when tested in an fMRI study in 2017, which indicated that the fragrance has the potential to encourage a pre-disposition towards sleep.

Studies, testing our pillow spray vs a placebo on 200 male and female panelists with mild sleep anxiety, found that using deep sleep pillow spray before bedtime helped them fall asleep faster, enjoy a deeper sleep, feel less anxious before sleep and less tired in the morning (and throughout the day).

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil lies at the heart of our clinically tested Deep Sleep Functional Fragrance. Known for its calming, stress-reducing properties, Lavender helps promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality.
shop sleep

geek mode

Lavender Essential Oil, the key ingredient in our Deep Sleep Functional Fragrance, is rich in terpenes, particularly linalool (approximately 30-55%) and linalyl acetate (20-45%). Terpenes are natural compounds found in essential oils that contribute to the aroma and therapeutic effects of plants. Linalool and linalyl acetate are known for their calming, anxiolytic properties, which help promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. These terpenes work with the central nervous system to improve sleep quality, alleviate stress, and support overall well-being.

Vetivert oil is known for its grounding and calming properties, helping to relax the mind and ease feelings of stress. Sometimes referred to as the oil of tranquility, this deeply soothing oil supports mental clarity while creating a peaceful environment to help you rest and restore.

Magnesium

Relaxes muscles, boosts skin vitality and soothes irritation by regulating ion channels and sensitivity.

geek mode

Magnesium helps relax muscles and calm the skin when applied topically and absorbed through the skin. It interacts with ion channels, particularly those linked to calcium, regulating muscle contraction and promoting a soothing, relaxing effect.

Magnesium also supports energy metabolism at a cellular level, which can enhance skin vitality and improve overall skin health. By aiding energy efficiency, it helps boost the skin’s natural repair and recovery processes, making it beneficial for post-exercise care or tired skin.

Additionally, Magnesium’s ability to block NMDA receptors plays a role in reducing skin sensitivity and discomfort. This analgesic effect helps soothe irritated or inflamed skin, providing relief from conditions related to both acute and chronic pain.

geek mode
Zinc PCA

Hydrates skin, regulates oil production and supports overall skin health with antibacterial and soothing properties for balance.

geek mode

Zinc PCA is a zinc salt of L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylate that functions as a natural humectant. It helps retain moisture by mimicking the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), keeping skin hydrated and balanced.

In addition to its moisturising properties, Zinc PCA regulates sebum production, making it ideal for oily or acne-prone skin. It helps reduce excess oil without stripping the skin, while its antibacterial properties contribute to clearer, healthier-looking skin.
