5 Tips for Better Sleep

Because waking up exhausted isn’t what you deserve.

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right but still waking up exhausted? Whether you’re a mum surviving on broken sleep, a busy professional burning the candle at both ends, or someone who just can’t switch off at night, the struggle is real and we know all too well have much sleep deprivation can impact every aspect of your life!

But here’s the good news: you can hack your way to better sleep, without relying on sleeping pills or making massive lifestyle changes.

Step 1: Upgrade Your Nightly Ritual with Magnesium

If you’re tossing and turning at night, your body might be crying out for magnesium or other sleep loving ingredients like L-Tryptophan, L-Theanine or botanicals. Studies have shown that magnesium plays a crucial role in sleep regulation, helping to:

• Relax the nervous system and reduce stress

• Lower cortisol (the stress hormone that keeps you wired)

• Support deep, uninterrupted sleep

And the best way to get it? A delicious, warm mug of Magnesium Hot Chocolate before bed. Unlike sugar-packed drinks that spike your blood sugar and keep you awake, this blend is designed to help you drift off naturally.

Step 2: Ditch the Blue Light Before Bed

We hate to say it, but scrolling TikTok at 11 PM isn’t helping your sleep. Studies have found that blue light exposure at night can suppress melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep.

Hack: Switch your phone to Night Mode and swap late-night scrolling for a warm drink + a book (or at least some low-stimulation content - think ASMR or white noise).

Step 3: Create a Wind-Down Routine

Ever noticed how babies have a bedtime routine, but adults just expect to pass out? (Spoiler: It doesn’t work like that).

Your body thrives on routine, and setting the scene for sleep can make a huge difference.
• Dim the lights: bright overhead lighting tells your body it’s still daytime.
• Take a warm shower or bath: the drop in temperature afterward signals to your brain that it’s bedtime.
• Sip a Magnesium Hot Chocolate: the blend of magnesium, adaptogens, and amino acids helps ease your body into rest mode.

Step 4: Help Minimise Wake Ups

If you’re waking up multiple times a night, stress, blood sugar imbalances, or muscle tension could be the culprits.

• Blood Sugar Fix: Avoid sugary snacks before bed. spikes and crashes can wake you up. Beauty Bites are a great low sugar snack before bed.
• Magnesium for Muscle Relaxation: If you experience restless legs or body tension, magnesium can help. You might also find our Muscle Relief Roll On a useful product to help with muscle relaxation 
• Tackle Anxiety Head-On: If your mind races at night, adaptogens like Lemon Balm and Passionflower (found in Magnesium Hot Chocolate) may help calm the nervous system.

Step 5: Optimise Your Environment

Good sleep isn’t just about how long you sleep, it’s about how well you sleep.

• Keep your room cool: between 16-18°C is ideal
• Minimise disruptions: if your partner snores or tosses, try earplugs or white noise

Sleep Isn’t a Luxury, It’s a Necessity

You deserve to wake up feeling recharged, not wrecked. And while we can’t promise your kids will sleep through (if only!), we can promise that Magnesium Hot Chocolate is your best chance at deep, restorative sleep.
