I struggle to sleep for a number of reasons, ranging from everyday stress to chronic pain and sensory issues. I find it challenging getting to sleep, staying asleep, and rarely feel refreshed when my alarm goes off.
If I’ve found myself tossing and turning in the night, I find myself with further back pain, more stress, and therefore in a vicious cycle of sleeplessness. Over the years, I have tried various techniques and gadgets to aid me in my slumber, and found that some work much better than others.
For example, I can’t sleep without my weighted blanket , and have often enjoyed using the Headspace app. Ahead of World Sleep Day, which is today (March 18), I’ve been trying out a digital-free gadget that’s an absolute must-have for the bedroom.
