Weighted blanket
The downside of a hot day ( remember those ?) is the sweaty night that follows . And one of the worst things about a hot night is having to sleep without the full body embrace of a duvet .
But with colder nights upon us , now is the time to give a weighted blanket a try . Weights sewn into the blanket create a comforting pressure . These comfortable comforters have become hugely popular over the past year .
Lavender
Lavender is one of the most tried-and-tested sleep remedies out there . Mothers everywhere have sprinkled a little under their kids ’ pillows for generations .
This essential oil calms the nervous system thanks , in part , to the terpene linalool which is also found in the cannabis plant .

There ’ s something quite soothing about the sound of a fan whirring away . In fact , research suggests that this ‘ white noise ’ can help you fall sleep 40 % faster . But it ’ s not really appropriate for this time of year .
White noise machines give you all the rest-inducing benefits of a fan without the cooling breeze .
Another classic solution to the sleep problem . Eye masks help block out that pesky natural light , as well as the less natural kind that plagues those of us living in cities .
A poor eye mask will not only be uncomfortable but will fall off during the night . So be sure to shop around and read reviews before committing to purchase .

Ear plugs CBD
If sound is an enemy rather than an ally to a good night ’ s sleep for you , ear plugs may be the way to go . But if you ’ ve gone for the cheap sponge option or the old ball of wax , you will soon realise that comfort is as important as quiet .
There are plenty of brands out there that claim to achieve the balance of comfort and functionality .
No Cannavist sleep guide would be complete without CBD .
An investigation by the US National Institutes of Health found that a 160mg dose of CBD increased sleep duration compared to a placebo . Always consult your doctor before medicating with such a large dose of CBD .
