I’ve always been a solid sleeper, that was until I experienced an all-encompassing bout of chronic insomnia. As it turns out, I’m not alone. A recent study by The Sleep Council revealed that a third of Brits endure poor sleep most nights and almost three-quarters (74%) sleep less than seven hours a night. It also showed stress and worry as the top reason.

(Important: A sudden onset of insomnia should always be investigated by your GP. If, like me, your doc has given you the all-clear and your lack of sleep is down to life stress, read on for some science-backed products that helped me.)

With so many of us struggling to get quality ZZZs, it’s no wonder sleep tech is on the rise. Amazon.co.uk has seen sales of wake-up light alarm clocks rise by more than 600%.

It’s common knowledge that poor sleep is linked to a host of health ailments, like weight gain, depression and anxiety, and increased risk of dementia. Scary, right?

So if sleeplessness is affecting your life and you’re thinking of investing in something more effective than herbal tea and blackout blinds, here are five products – backed by actual science – that helped me to sleep again. After all, quality sleep is a luxury we all deserve.
