According to Silentnight, the UK’s most trusted sleep brand, a simple, science-back hack is the best way to drift off - copper-infused pillow.

The enzyme dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) is copper-dependent and produces norepinephrine, which is important for sleep and means it is essential for regulating sleep cycles.

Poor sleep is linked to higher risks of anxiety, depression, heart disease and weakened immunity, while quality rest leads to sharper focus, improved mood, and better long-term health.

Modern lifestyles make sleep harder to achieve, with light-night scrolling, stress and irregular routines all contributing to disrupted rest.

The ideal temperature for sleep is around 16-18 °C. Blackout blinds, earplugs, or white noise machines can also help create a restful space.

· Use an air purifier

Excess moisture in the air can lead to mould growth and dust mites, which may disrupt sleep and trigger allergies. An air purifier is perfect for improving air quality by removing excess room moisture, mould spores, and dust mites, enabling you to breathe easily throughout the night.

· Ditch the screens before bed

Blue light from phones and tablets interferes with melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep. Try switching to a book or relaxing music instead.

· Create a wind-down routine

Relaxing activities like reading, stretching, or deep breathing help signal to your body that it’s time for rest.

Sally Bonser, a spokesperson for Silentnight, explains: “It’s great to see sleep becoming a bigger priority, and sleepmaxxing is all about making the most of your rest. But better sleep doesn’t have to mean overcomplicating things, sometimes the simplest solutions make the biggest impact.

“A cool, dark, and quiet bedroom is the foundation of good sleep. Pairing this with a simple wind-down routine, such as reading, stretching, or deep breathing, helps prepare the body for rest.

“Sleepmaxxing doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple, effective changes are the key to transforming how you feel every day.”
