A can of Sleep Toniq is a great excuse to wind down for the evening and spend some time on nightcare. Here are some of the activities that pair best with it:

Read a light-hearted novel:

Something easy to open and get stuck into, not a thick book with thin pages and tiny writing. Make sure you have the right lighting though, if you’re using your main overhead light to read with you‘re forced to light the whole room up just to see the words, and you’ll end up sending the wrong signals to your brain.

A small, warm table lamp is so much better and also helps to reduce feelings of stimulation.

But the best thing to use is a dimmable reading light, and if you can find it, one that is red tinted; that will really help your brain wind down.

10 minute meditation:

10 minutes doesn’t sound too bad does it?

You don’t have to set aside an hour to ponder the mysteries of the universe. A simple 10-minute practice whilst you sip on some Sleep Toniq is enough to clear away the day’s noise and prime your body for a good night’s rest. Not sure where to start? Here’s the article I wrote on breathwork, and here’s an article about easy meditation techniques. Key takeaway: It doesn’t need to be hard, it doesn’t need to be spiritual, and it doesn’t need to done for hours.

Intentional skincare

Not something you do reluctantly, because you feel like you have to, but a welcome excuse to take things a bit slower.

Do a treatment or use a product that you usually ‘never get round’ to doing. Try to enjoy the feeling of the warm water, cream, serum, or mask. Use the Sleep Toniq as an excuse to reclaim some time to spend on yourself.

When you do turn out the lights, your skin will feel clean, your body will be relaxed, and you will feel a small sense of achievement.

Listen to an album and improve your bedroom

When was the last time you listened to an album?

Intentionally put an album on and listen to it whilst you sip on a Sleep Toniq and sort out your bedroom.

This could include everyday tasks like making your bed, clearing the clutter, and folding your clothes. Or you could tackle an area of room that you normally never get round to ‘sorting’. Do a clothes clear out, rearrange that drawer, give the windowsills a wipe – but nothing too stressful.

Just 20 minutes of this will go a really long way, and if you do it mindfully, won’t feel like a chore, but instead like a rewarding activity that makes your life easier and reduces your mental clutter.

Finally…

This is not an exhaustive list, just some ideas to get you started. The key takeaway is to use the opening of a can of Sleep Toniq as a signifying moment that you are going to do something intentional. Something that goes beyond just ‘sedation’. Something wholesome that genuinely prepares our mind and body for deep, restorative sleep.

That’s all for now, sleep tight,
