Now, as much as we enjoy working at BrandAlley, no job comes without its stresses, and we can appreciate just how beneficial it is to indulge in some post-work self-care before bedtime.
So, as we continue into Sleeptember, we thought what better time to ask the BrandAlley team how they switch work mode off and chill mode on, ready for a blissful night’s sleep.
Olivia Murphy, Social Media Executive
“My secret to a good night’s sleep starts with running myself a bath, where I unwind by using ESPA’s Restorative Bath Milk and reading the latest book on my list! Following this, I will complete my skincare routine which also involves another ESPA product, their Refining Polish Scrub – the perfect aid to a long day! I will then make myself a Green tea (decaf of course!) and jump into a fresh bed with a silk pillowcase to ensure that my skin and hair are as smooth as can be for the following morning!”

“Doing a bit of meditation or sleep hypnosis before sleeping definitely helps me to fall asleep faster!”
Michelle Hurney, Head of Marketing
“My best sleeps are always the ones that follow a day where I eat well and get enough exercise. I like to a HIIT class after work, as that really signals the end of the working day for me, allowing my brain to wind down while giving my body the change to move after a long day of sitting. And what motivates me to go to the gym? A pretty gym kit! I particularly love the ones from Sweaty Betty.”

“A cosy duvet and fleecy blankets are a must for me! I bundle myself up, stick on my favourite show and immediately feel relaxed. Oh – and nothing salty before bed!”

“Like Olivia, I’ve recently treated myself to a silk pillowcase for a touch of luxury (plus, it’s gentle on my skin and hair). The real game-changer, however, is limiting the endless scrolling and opting for some quiet time to clear my mind.”
