My sleep has been haywire for years. Whether it’s children waking me up, hormones all over the place or stress, getting a good night’s rest has felt elusive for a while. I figured this was just how life looked as a woman in midlife with quite a lot to juggle. While magnesium oil on my feet, putting my phone down earlier, and other healthy habits have helped me sleep better, I know there are plenty more things I could try.
Determined to get stuck into the latest trends in sleep health and experience them for myself, I headed off to the adults-only Verdala Wellness Hotel, which specialises in helping people with their fitness, nutrition, sleep, and general wellness, leaving them with tools to replicate the feeling at home. The Verdala, in the town of Rabat, only opened in August, but it’s a stunning environment with a spa, food and spectacular views.
