🌙 How to Get Sleep Like a Baby: Beauty Sleep That Actually Works

 

By Flora, Art Director

 

Let’s be honest🤔—I’m not just into sleep, I’m fully obsessed with it. We’re talking skincare-routine-level commitment.

After a ridiculous amount of trial and error, this is the exact flow I follow every single night to knock out fast, wake up fresh, and keep my skin, mood and brain all in check.

You’ve tried chamomile tea. You’ve turned your phone face down. You’ve counted sheep, stars… maybe even your exes.

But sleep still plays hard to get?

Yeah, I’ve been there.

This isn’t just a cute list—it’s my real nightly system. And today, I’m finally sharing it💡✨

 

🛁 1. Melt Your Stress in a Bath

Step one: water + fizz = calm. A warm bath raises your body temperature slightly, and as it cools afterward, your body gets the sleepy signal💤

Drop in one of our organic bath bombs — mint if I need refreshing, lavender if I’m tired-tired, rose when I want to feel extra soft. The scent plus the soak? Instant reset.
No pressure, no overthinking — just melt.

🫧 Tip: Soak for 15–20 mins max. Warm, not boiling.

📵 2. Unplug to Recharge (Your Brain, Not Just Your Phone)

Blue light = melatonin killer😱

I shut down all screens about 30 minutes before bed. Instead, I stretch, journal, or zone out to a candle.

🌌 Pro tip: If you’re using white noise or a podcast later (see step 5), queue it up now so you're not touching your phone again.

 

🧘♀️ 3. Light Stretching (Not a Workout, I Swear)

This isn’t Pilates. It’s cozy-girl movement.

I lay out my super soft NBR mat and do slow stretches — cat-cow, child’s pose, hip openers. It helps shake off the tension I didn’t even know I was holding.

🌱 Low-effort, high-reward. 5–10 minutes is all you need.

💡 4. Set the Vibe with Light & Temp

The room has to feel sleepy. Not too hot, not bright. Here's what I do:

•        Set the room to a sleep-friendly temperature—not too warm, not too cold. The right temperature depends on individuals.

•        My mood light is set to a low amber glow

•        Timer = key. It turns off after I’ve fallen asleep, so I’m not waking up to glare

🌙 Little detail, big difference. Trust me.

🎧 5. Slide Into Sleep (Don’t Force It)

No pressure. Just support your brain into slowing down. I use🤗:

•        White noise  (rain, wind, ocean sounds)

•        Gentle talking — chill podcasts or slow storytelling

•        or sometimes just… nothing. Silence can hit too.

I always set a 1-hour timer so it fades out when I’m deep asleep.

🎧 This is the part where your brain goes: okay, I can let go now.

 

🛏 6. Consistency is Queen

No secret here: I try to sleep and wake up around the same time every day — yep, even weekends (well... most of them😌).
It keeps my energy stable, my skin clearer, and my dark circles in check.

It’s not hard when your whole bedtime routine feels this good 👍

 

💬 Final words:

 

This whole thing?👀
It’s not a trend for me — it’s my actual routine. I’ve built it little by little because I take my sleep seriously.
It works, it’s calming🌜, and it makes me feel like I’m taking care of myself even while I’m unconscious.

If you want to start waking up feeling better (and looking it too)?
Try my system tonight. Sleep like a baby — but better👼
