Sanctuary Spa Wellness range is just dreamy..

There is no denying the past few years have been a total nightmare for many – and for many reasons. One particular gripe which has been proven to particulary annoying, and for women in particular, is lack of sleep.

Females are more prone to difficulties than men – fact. They take longer to drift off, are more often sleep deprived and are at higher risk for insomnia.

And research reveals the pandemic has been - and still is – exacerbating these issues.

One recent report suggests anti-insomnia prescriptions, anti-anxiety and anti-depression medications have increased significantly in the US during the pandemic.

Notably, the increase in this medication use much higher in women particularly those aged 45 to 64, followed closely by women 65+.

So while we have all been living a nightmare during the day, we have to face an entirely new one at night.

I have always been a great sleeper, something which I am eternally grateful for as I do not function well unless I get at least seven hours.

But even I’ve been struggling over the past two years. It takes me longer to drift off (a good book is the only thing that helps) then I wake up several times, taking longer to get back to sleep each time.

Then I wake early – sometimes hours before the rest of the house – and the world – joins me. If you are the same, take comfort in the fact you aren’t alone.

But there is little comfort in this when you’re lying in the dark wide awake at 4am. I have found a range of products which have helped me greatly.

The Sanctuary Spa Wellness range is specially designed to help with sleep issues.

It is a three-product routine which has been doing wonders for me.

It starts with a long, hot soak using the De-stress Bath Salts with magnesium. You literally collapse on the bed afterwards as you are so relaxed.

I then apply the Warming Body Balm which is so soothing, you have to try it to believe it and then I spray the sleep mist on my pillow.

And that’s me, out like a light until the light of day. This routine works for me every time so if you too are struggling, why not give it a go too? After all what have you got to lose execpt more sleep? www.uk.sanctuary.com
