Most sleep advice sounds good—until you try it. Who has the energy for a 10-step routine or an hour of meditation before bed? Plus, not all nights feel the same. Some evenings, you’re dead tired. Other times, you’ve got a little more room to recharge—or you’re in the mood for a full glow-up.
That’s why we’ve created a Sleep Glow-Up Menu: quick, low-effort hacks you can choose depending on how much time you’ve got.
🕔The 5-Min Mini Reset Bento
For nights when you just want the basics.
Your main course:
- Change into breathable sleepwear. Even if you do nothing else, swapping out your day clothes for soft, lightweight pyjamas tells your brain: it’s sleep time.
- The “lights-off scroll.” If you can’t quit your phone, at least dim your screen and switch to an audiobook or podcast—your eyes rest while your mind unwinds.
- Hack your pillow scent. Dab a tiny drop of lavender or eucalyptus oil on the corner of your pillowcase—it tricks your brain into relax mode instantly.
À La Carte Options (Pick 1–2 More):
• Do 10 slow shoulder rolls forward, then 10 backward, to release tension from sitting all day.
• Apply some hand cream and gently massage your palms for a few minutes.
• Pour a small glass of water and keep it by your bedside so you wake up less parched
• Grab a notebook and scribble a thought, worry, or idea. Clear your mind in under 2 minutes.
• Whisper to yourself: “Tomorrow Me will thank Tonight Me.” Then switch off the light.
🕒 The 15-Min PJ Power-Up Set Meal
For when you’ve got a pocket of time to recharge.
Your main course:
- One-song stretch. Play your favourite slow song and do light stretches in your PJs (our Je Dors Long Sleeve Pyjamas Top feels extra luxurious for this). No yoga mat needed—just bed or floor.
- Face towel spa. Wet a small towel with warm water, wring it out, and place it over your face for 2 minutes after a quick face cleanse.
-
Share your “rose & thorn” of the day. With a partner, child, or even in your journal, reflect on one highlight (your rose) and one challenge (the thorn). It clears your mind, and you’ll be surprised how much lighter you feel before bed.
À La Carte Options (Pick 2–3 More):
• Write down 3 things you’re thankful for, big or small—like your favourite kopi, or that your Grab driver arrived on time.
• Lie down, place one hand on your stomach, and do 10 slow belly breaths, inhaling deeply and exhaling fully.
• Place a chilled eye mask (or even a cold spoon) over your eyelids for 3 minutes to soothe screen fatigue.
• Clear your bedside table—put your glass, phone, and book in place. A tidy corner = a calmer mind.
• Say: “I release the day. I welcome rest.” Breathe it in.
🕒 The 50-Min Midnight Feast
For the rare nights you want to go all in. Treat this like a spa evening, but in your own bedroom.
Your main course:
- The “bed picnic.” Bring your herbal tea, fruit, or even ice cream to bed and turn winding down into an indulgent treat. (Because relaxation doesn’t have to be green juice and meditation!) Then if you want, you can have your fav Netflix rewatch in the background...
-
Hot everything shower + scent ritual. Go all in—steam, scrub, exfoliate every inch (yes, even between your toes). Then wrap yourself in the Alba Washable Silk Dressing Robe, light a candle or incense, and slide into crisp sheets. Let the scents linger as you bask in boutique-hotel-level luxury—minus the checkout.
-
Book-before-bed ritual. Swap screens for 20 pages of your favourite book while wrapped in cosy comfort. Old-school relaxation that works every time.
À La Carte Options (Pick 3–4 More):
• Smooth your bedding, fluff pillows, and make your sleep space inviting again.
• Rub lotion or coconut oil into the arches of your feet with slow circular motions, pressing into your pressure points.
• Apply a face mask, then write a page in your journal while it works its magic.
• Try a 10-min guided yoga nidra audio—lying down, no poses, just deep rest.
• Close your eyes and repeat: “I deserve this pause. My body thanks me.”
Your sleep glow-up doesn’t need to be expensive or overly “wellness-y.” Treat it like a menu—pick what fits your mood and time.
Even if all you do is slip into your Rawbought sleepwear, you’re already one step closer to better rest.
