Having said that, I seem to get by on a moderate amount of sleep, now more than ever as I\u2019m that little bit older. I\u2019m very fortunate that on the whole I fall asleep fairly quickly and tend to sleep right through… most of the time.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sometimes asked if I have a routine before slipping into the covers. Well, working slightly out of the ordinary hours, the days of going to bed before 11pm are far behind me. But I have a few things in place that make a huge difference to my sleep.<\/p>\n
For me, if my pillow isn\u2019t comfy then forget it – there\u2019s no chance of me falling asleep. QVC kindly asked me to try out the Tempur<\/strong><\/a> pillow<\/a> a few years ago, and I\u2019ve never looked back. I found it transformative. Finding that \u2018sweet spot\u2019 of comfort comes so easily every time I rest my head down, which in turn helps me to fall asleep much more quickly.<\/p>\n I\u2019d add at this point, it is a considered purchase, and in truth had I not been asked to trial it, it possibly would have passed me by. But, now that I\u2019ve tried it and love it, there\u2019s no going back for me. When the time comes, I\u2019ll order another one for sure. I have recommended it to so many people. In fact, one of the QVC guests asked me if I really did believe in this pillow<\/a>. Well, after a long chat, they placed an order and when we next saw each other at work, she said it was dramatically helping with her night’s sleep. The great thing is with QVC, of course, is you have the 60 Day Money-Back Guarantee.<\/p>\n Bedding, for me, can really enrich the look, feel, and mood, of a room. But, when the lights go off, it\u2019s how it feels against the skin that counts. I love 100% cotton from the likes of Northern Nights<\/strong><\/a> and K by Kelly Hoppen<\/strong><\/a>. But, when it comes to autumn and winter, it has to be Cozee Home<\/strong><\/a>! There is a downside to introducing new bedding though… my Cairns will often get there before me!<\/p>\n I should mention that we have some fabulous pet beds<\/a> from Cozee Pets<\/strong> and Silentnight<\/strong><\/a> too!<\/p>\n Another little rule I\u2019ve set myself is to keep all screen time out of the bedroom. So, there\u2019s no TV in my room and although my phone is in there with me, once I\u2019m in bed, that\u2019s it – no more viewing.<\/p>\n I find reading really beneficial to help me relax and unwind. In fact, often within a few pages, I can feel my eyes closing. Because of this, it\u2019s not unusual for a book to last me several months! Playing the piano also really helps me to unwind and switch off. Then, if I\u2019m really spoiling myself, I\u2019ll run a bath with some fabulous Molton Brown<\/strong><\/a> formulas.<\/p>\n Finally, if I can\u2019t sleep, I\u2019ve learnt to \u2018not\u2019 look at the time, as that will just infuriate me, which in turn makes it even harder to fall asleep. It can be a vicious circle.<\/p>\n Ultimately, I think it\u2019s about finding what best works for you. But, my top tips would be to find a fabulous pillow and mattress (you have the brilliant 60 Night Money-Back Guarantee with QVC) and to ban the screens from the bedroom! We have top brands at QVC, from the likes of Silentnight<\/strong><\/a>, Sealy<\/strong><\/a>, Tempur<\/strong><\/a>, Northern Nights<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and Cozee Home<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0too.<\/p>\n All of a sudden, I\u2019m feeling a bit sleepy!<\/p>\n Sweet dreams… and I\u2019ll see you soon. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Charlie… zzz<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Image-one.jpg\")
