Sleep routine at home with Liz Earle
Sleep in style
Look for nightwear that is extremely soft and comfortable, with temperature-regulating properties. Modal blends are a good option for PJs, as the material is supremely soft, breathable and helps keep us cool in the summer and warm in winter. It also has good sustainability credentials. Here are a few of Liz’s favourites:
- The Aria Modal pyjamas from John Lewis offer a cosy, comfortable option for cooler night.
- One of Liz’s favourite pyjamas comes from this inspiring brand – Siân Esther. Siân Esther was launched as a British pyjama brand, to provide women with effortless and elegant nightwear that was traditional and yet fun.
The comfiest pillow
When it comes to choosing the best sleep products, pay special attention to your pillow. Liz finds that a moulded Tempur-style pillow is the most comfortable and provides excellent neck support to aid better sleep. Encase it with a silk pillowcase – not only incredibly smooth and comforting to lay your head, on but with the added beauty benefits of reducing sleep lines and wrinkles.

Block sound and light
Blue light – such as that emitted from our phones and screens – can help to boost our alertness and reaction times. While this can be helpful in the day, blue light can actually disrupt our sleep come nighttime. Ocushield’s blue light blocking glasses mean you can still catch up on your favourite TV shows, without compromising on quality sleep. Use LIZLOVES to save 20% off your order.
If, like Liz, you’re a light sleeper and sensitive to sound, these soft silicone ear plugs come highly recommended. They’re comfortable to lie on and give you a very quiet, peaceful night’s sleep (don’t panic, you’ll still hear your alarm go off!).
Sleeping in a fully darkened room is also important. Installing blackout blinds in your bedroom or using an eye mask can help you to fully switch off. The mask is especially useful when travelling or sleeping away from home. Liz’s favourite is by life armour and is made from 100% organic bamboo. The breathable fabric feels both lightweight and soft on the skin, helping you to drift off after a busy day. Use LIZLOVES to save 15% off your order at life armour.
Protect your jaw
Last but not least, if you’re a night grinder and get pain in your jaw, you’ll definitely benefit from a night guard to prevent tooth clenching. Liz has spent many years researching and trialling a number of different bite guards. She has found this simple, inexpensive and discrete style from DenTek to be one of the best sleep products.
