A common misconception is that dreams only occur during the REM phase. It’s true that dreams during REM can be more intense, perceptually vivid, and emotionally engaging yet we still experience dreaming in other stages of sleep- known as non-REM dreaming. Non-REM dreams are important for learning; specifically detailed, non-emotional information.

For many, the difficulty with sleep doesn’t begin at bedtime, but throughout the day, as we carry the stresses of our work deadlines, juggling a family, chaotic commutes, and hectic modern lifestyles into our beds with us. It can be difficult for those with busy, overthinking minds to wind down and switch gears for sleep, but our tried, (clinically) tested, and award-winning deep sleep pillow spray is here to help. Formulated to reduce the anxiety around getting to sleep, fall asleep more easily, and have a better quality of sleep over the course of the night, this powerful sleep aid has sold over 9 million worldwide, helping people put the peace back into a peaceful night’s sleep. Reviewed by neuroscientists and formulated with our signature, clinical, fMRI, and independently tested Functional Fragrance of Lavender, Camomile, and Vetivert, Deep Sleep is designed to be spritzed onto your pillow, bed linens, and pyjamas, releasing the aromatherapeutic fragrance into the room and creating the ultimate relaxing environment to prepare for sleep. 97% of users felt they slept better and 98% felt more refreshed in the morning.**

 

On a neuroscientific level, we know that there are two types of dreams- REM dreams and Non-REM dreams both of which enable some key cognitive functions. REM sleep accounts for approximately 25% of our overall sleep and will vary by individual.  REM sleep is important for memory consolidation and emotional regulation. We process our lived experience via dreams during REM sleep, forging new intercellular connections, restoring brain chemistry, and integrating newly encoded information in the brain. All of this can result in increased focus, goal-setting, and creative thinking – meaning that when we create the space for dreams during sleep, we’re actually creating more scope for us to achieve our waking dreams, too. 

One way to ramp up your time spent in REM sleep is with our clinically proven, award-winning sleep plus pillow spray. Backed by Sleep Science, including a polysomnography study, fMRI brain-imaging, and independent user studies, this powerful spray is proven to decrease night wakings, boost REM sleep and restore sleeping patterns.* Sleep plus pillow spray uses an innovative motion-activated delivery system, slow-releasing encapsulated bursts of our Deep Sleep Functional throughout the night as and when you need them – helping you stay in the crucial REM phase for even longer, resulting in more dreams, more restorative sleep, and a well-rested mind come morning – everything you need for daytime dream-chasing. 

Do you prefer to take your showers in the evening? Prepare for sleep with a warm shower or bath using our deep sleep shower gel. Formulated with our award-winning, natural Superblend of Lavender, Camomile and Vetivert to calm both mind and body and soothe you to sleep. Inhale the clinically proven scent as you cleanse the body and prepare for a peaceful night’s beauty sleep. 

 

 

A great night’s sleep begins far before your head hits the pillow, and creating a calm bedtime routine where you cocoon yourself in relaxation from start to finish is an amazing way to ensure you get the quality hours you need (and deserve!), setting yourself up for a night full of dreams. When it comes to bedtime, we give our children long enough time to wind down, relax, and use ingredients in their bath, creams, and environment that support a tranquil lead-up to lights out, but we often neglect these stages from our own routines. Our Deep Sleep collection branches into bath and bodycare too, so you can begin your evening wind-down by lighting an ambient-building candle with notes of Lavender, Camomile and Vetivert, pouring our luxurious deep sleep bath oil into your bath, cleansing with our deep sleep shower gel and caring for your skin with our deep sleep body whip. Build the ultimate pre-bedtime routine with products and fragrance clinically proven to prepare your mind for better sleep and the sweetest dreams.
