The Sleep Accessory Survival Kit: What Every Nightstand Needs
Your nightstand is more than just a coaster holder and place-to-shove-charging-cables. It’s the command centre of your sleep sanctuary. The dreamy launchpad for your nightly unwind routine. The tiny table where big sleep happens.
So let’s turn that cluttered corner into a curated calm zone with the ultimate lineup of sleep accessories your future well-rested self will thank you for.
Essential Oil Candle
Your first move: scent the scene.
A calming essential oil candle tells your brain, “Hey, it’s wind-down time.” Soft flickering light + relaxing aroma = calm, cosy vibes
Pro tip: Light it about 30 minutes before bed. Blow it out before lights out. Dream like a scented angel.
Sleep Mask
If your partner watches late-night TikToks or you’re dealing with early sunrises (or let’s be honest, both), a sleep mask is your bestie. It blocks out light, signals sleep time, and looks bougie in the best way
Bonus points if it’s silky smooth and has cute ruffles. You’re not just resting-you’re doing it stylishly
Linen Eye Pillow
Need help switching off the million browser tabs in your brain? A linen eye pillow adds gentle pressure to calm the mind and help you drop into a deeper state of chill.
Warm it, cool it, spritz it with a little essential oil—this is the kind of sensory self-care your nightstand has been begging for
Merino Wool Socks
Nothing fancy here-just cozy toes and better blood flow.
Fun fact: Warm feet = faster sleep. It’s actual science. And merino wool socks are soft, breathable, and cute enough that you might wear them to brunch the next day. (No judgment. We’ve done it.)
Linen Bralette
You’ve crawled into bed, you’re comfy, and then-gah!-you realise you're still wearing the wrong bra.
Keep a soft linen bralette by your bedside for easy swaps. It’s gentle support with none of the squeeze, perfect for reading in bed or drifting off like a minimalist goddess
Low-Effort Bedside Book + Notepad
Okay, not a sleep accessory, technically-but still an MVP.
Choose something relaxing (no plot twists, please) or keep a notebook handy for late-night brain dumps. We love a sleepy scribbler
