When I first heard about sleep spray, it seemed like a marketing gimmick, but the Sanctuary Spa Pillow Sleep Spray has proven to be a real game-changer.

Despite following all the recommended sleep hygiene practices - avoiding screen time an hour before bed, not consuming caffeine in the afternoon or eating late - my sleep quality had taken a nosedive.

Despite my best efforts, switching off after a long day was proving challenging. So, I decided to try something new and purchased the Sanctuary Spa Pillow Sleep Spray, currently discounted from £15 to £7.50 on Amazon.

To my relief, it genuinely helped me fall asleep much quicker.

The process is simple: spray a small amount on your pillow, and the comforting scent makes drifting off to sleep much easier. The fragrance of lavender fills the room, creating an instantly relaxing atmosphere.

I believe that your bedroom should be a clean, tidy, and fragrant space, enhancing the freshness when you retire for the night. Whether the improved relaxation came from sleeping in a more inviting environment or the effect of the lavender itself, I can't say for sure, reports Wales Online.

But one thing is certain - I won't be giving up this sleep spray anytime soon.

The Sanctuary Spa Sleep Spray has become an absolute must-have for me, and I've even started keeping it on my bedside table.

My bedside table is a sacred space, as I believe it sets the tone for relaxation and should only house items that contribute to a calming evening routine, be it skincare products, books, an eye mask, or any other sleep-related items intentionally placed there.

Having it within arm's reach of my bed serves as a handy reminder to spritz it lightly on my pillows.

I'm not sure if this is the correct usage, but I've also begun spraying it on my duvet to disperse the scent further - anyone with a lavender allergy would do well to steer clear of my room at present.

The Sanctuary Spa Pillow Sleep Spray boasts a formulation comprising 94% naturally derived ingredients and is cruelty-free, devoid of mineral oils, and suitable for vegans.

It promises to help you wake up feeling refreshed and relaxed, with its Amazon product description revealing a fragrance blend of jasmine, violet, and sandalwood.

The product is lauded as being "scientifically proven" to help users fall asleep quicker and for longer durations, a claim I found persuasive from personal experience.

Following its use, my own journey to slumber seemingly shortened, with fewer night-time disturbances encountered.

The promotional material further suggests an additional benefit of spritzing the sleep aid spray on one's visage or body, making the most of its skin-moisturising hyaluronic acid while you doze off.

If this particular option isn't tickling your fancy, fret not, for the market boasts a variety of alternatives. I opted for the Sanctuary Spa Pillow Spray, attracted by its vegan credentials and wallet-friendly price pointmeaning it wouldnt be a huge loss if it failed to deliver.

For those captivated by other sleep-inducing products, consider the White Company Sleep Relax Soothing mist available at £22, or splurge on the esteemed Deep Sleep Pillow Spray priced at £34, a beauty aficionado's delight that graced the 2022 Glamour Power List. Meanwhile, bargain hunters might appreciate Feather and Down Sweet Dreams Pillow Spray, snagging it for a mere £5.33 from Boots.
