Here’s How We’re Getting Better Sleep This Spring

Step one: swap to silk …

Many of us are still struggling with disrupted sleep and insomnia. This week we talked to Anne Marie Boyhan of The Sleep Care Co about how to get a better night’s beauty sleep (see the Talking Beauty video of our chat HERE). Her first piece of advice was silk, and this is something we can definitely get behind – a silk pillowcase feels lovely on the skin, is hypoallergenic and helps reduce those morning creases, so we’re all for it. Find mulberry silk ones by The Silk Pillowcase available via www.thesleepcarecompany.com (€70), plus a colourful silk eye mask by Jessica Russell Flint (€45) to shut out the light.

Boyhan’s Beauty + Sleep Retreats sound beautifully restful, and a good way to kickstart better new sleep habits. The retreats feature everything from yoga to facial massage workshops; the next one takes place at Powerscourt Springs in Co Wicklow this May, so look out for details on the Sleep Care website and @thesleepcarecompany.

When it comes to pyjamas, the ultimate wishlist is these fabulous, fabulously expensive dusty rose silk pyjamas worn by actress Gillian Anderson on Instagram @gilliana (Olivia Von Halle Coco Oyster silk pyjamas, €510 at Brown Thomas); the striped shorts version is cute too.

And if you aspire to hotel chic at home, Ashford Castle have just launched a silk hamper, created together with KDK Sisters, which makes an extravagant gift idea or perhaps a souvenir of your stay at the gorgeous hotel. The Castle Slumber & Sleep Hamper (€400) contains a pair of 100 per cent silk pyjamas together with a silk eye mask and pillow cases, in the hotel’s signature green with gold logo. www.shop.ashfordcastle.com

A spray of Ground Wellbeing Pillow Spray (€18, www.groundwellbeing.com), with rosewood and lavender, enhances the whole scenario and helps you to wind down. Even better, founder Peigin Crowley’s Ground Sleep Ritual treatment, an exclusive new holistic ritual featuring gentle breathwork and aromatherapy oils, is now available at The Spa at The Shelbourne, from €165; you can combine it with an overnight stay, plus dinner and yoga class too. Sounds like the dream …. www.TheShelbourne.com
