“Sleep can be hit or miss for me—I love going to bed early, but some nights are better than others. It's a full routine that's impactful: If I exercise that day, if I don’t eat too late, if I make time for a small relaxation ritual, then I’m more likely to get a good rest. There’s an art to striking the right balance and my shortlist of go-tos make all the difference.”  xxGucci

GUCCI'S BETTER SLEEP BOOSTERS

1. CALMING CUP OF TEA

“Once a week, I like to have a sleep-promoting tea before bed. The calming ritual, including the warmth in my hand, creates a state of relaxation. I also believe in the power of natural herbs and ingredients like L-Theanine that have been linked to deeper sleep.”

2. A GOOD BOOK

“David and I try to read before bed instead of watching TV. And there’s nothing better than that feeling of not being able to get back to a book you love! It transports your mind away from the places of the day and it's the perfect accompaniment to a warm cup of tea.“

3. A GREAT SKINCARE RITUAL (AND MASSAGE!)

“Prepping for bed really helps me wind down and skincare routine is an imporant step! I like to pamper by layering our Skin Activator Serum with Suprême C, working them in with a mini lymphatic drainage massage technique. Two or three pumps of each leaves my skin feeling so nourished and I wake up looking brighter and refreshed.”

4. CHOCOLATE NIGHT BITES 

“Sometimes I crave something sweet at night. These mini dark chocolate bars do the trick. They’re caffeine-free and contain 200mg of magnesium and L-Theanine, which has been shown to improve focus as well as sleep quality.”

5. SLEEPY SUPPLEMENTS

“Daily supplements have always been essential for me: I like to make sure I’m filling any nutritional and hormonal gaps to keep my body balanced and strong. In my rotation, I have gummies, capsules, and powders I add to shakes. Right now, I’m especially into Dr. Nigma Talib's supplement or the Minerals & Chill blend—each are made for women to address adrenal stress, which impacts sleep of course.” 

6. HEALING WOOD CANDLE

“I light this smoky amber candle in the bath or on my nightstand while I’m reading to really decompress. It’s the first scent we developed for Westman Atelier, and it’s all about creating a cocooning, relaxing environment.”

7. A COZY HOT WATER BOTTLE

“I find the calming and comforting feeling of a hot water bottle in bed better than an electric blanket. Really, is there anything more relaxing? The little warm fabric covering on this one keeps things especially cozy.”

8. HATCH RESTORE WAKE-UP ALARM

“This device is a cross between a soothing sound machine and an alarm that uses sleep science to gradually wake you up. By mimicking the pattern of a sunrise, the ‘wake up’ light is more intuitive to your body and leaves you feeling recharged when you get up. My daughter has one in her room too!”
