One of my sleep secrets, which may sound unusual, is to keep the bedroom window slightly ajar, creating a gentle breeze and an earthy smell entering the room - it's incredibly soothing.

I also love putting on some calming classical music, the kind that has a slow tempo and melts away any tension in your body. It helps to block out any other distracting noises too.

And finally, I make sure the lighting is dim and cozy - nothing too bright or harsh - creating a warm ambiance that immediately signals to your body that it's time to wind down. That trio of earthy scents, soothing music, and soft lighting usually has me nodding off in no time!

I like the sound of rain paired with the scent of freshly fallen rain lavishing me with oxygen-rich negative ions. It's incredibly soothing and creates a very tranquil atmosphere along with my earthy smells.

And to answer your question, no, I don't have any other intentional or quirky habits apart from these. These are enough to keep my sleep environment serene and sanctified!

I'm a big fan of essential oils and have a collection of them to use depending on my mood. Lavender is a go-to; its calming fragrance is soothing and promotes relaxation. A few drops in the diffuser alongside some quiet, chill hop music (think Nujabes) help me unwind and forget the day's stressors.

I usually keep a diffuser going with a relaxing blend of essential oils nearby, which also doubles up as aroma therapy depending on the oil used. Peppermint is a favourite, offering a fresh and invigorating scent that's also soothing, especially when you need a clear head to fall asleep. Lemon essence is another one I like because it's uplifting and helps brighten up your mood, creating a peaceful slumber even after a taxing day.
