Not being able to fall asleep can be incredibly frustrating — tossing and turning in your bed and losing out on precious hours of recovery can be downright stress-inducing. Instead, set yourself up for success by creating a bedroom environment that encourages relaxation. Ahead, five simple things you can do before bed to ensure you'll catch those zzz's and get that beauty sleep you deserve.

01

Apply an eye mask

If you've ever woken up from surrounding light — either from a partner using their phone or perhaps something from outside of your window — you know how frustrating that can be. Wearing an eye mask can filter all of that out for you.

02
Take a supplement

Take a supplement

Take a supplement to support sleep and help you wake up refreshed. Leave your melatonin-packed gummies by your bedside so that you don't forget to take them.*

03
Use a silk (or silk-blend) pillowcase

Use a silk (or silk-blend) pillowcase

Silk and silk-blend pillowcases can feel less irritating on the skin, leaving your hair soft (say goodbye to tangles) and your skin smooth. This will help you get that restorative sleep you deserve.

04
Listen to relaxing music

Listen to relaxing music

Unwind from the day by listening to soothing meditative sounds. Try playing tranquil tunes from an app (anything from crashing waves to a light rain), or put on a slow album to calm — and quiet — your mind.

05
Light a scented candle

Light a scented candle

The smell of lavender is believed to help reduce stress and tension. Light a candle and place it nearby so that you can enjoy the fragrance. Be sure to blow it out before you fall asleep.
