If you experience tossing and turning through sleepless nights, you’re not alone. According to the NHS, one in three of us in the UK suffer from insomnia. If poor sleep is significantly affecting your daily life, then it’s best to seek help from your doctor, but for those of us, myself included, that have less frequent bouts of insomnia, sleep sprays (or pillow sprays) are often the first port of call.
“Sleep sprays can be a fantastic addition to your bedtime routine, but they aren’t a substitute for proven treatments for sleeping problems such as insomnia,” explains Dr Linsay Browning, neuroscientist, chartered psychologist and founder of Trouble Sleeping, with a doctorate in insomnia from the University of Oxford.
