Three ways to help keep your sleep on track as the clocks go forward

Published on March 29, 2025 at 11:48 PM

The 5 surprising reasons you might not be sleeping - and all are lurking in your home

STICKING to a regular sleep routine can reduce your risk of stroke, cardiac arrest and heart failure.

Even if you get a solid eight hours a night, studies show that those who don’t go to bed and get up at roughly the same times are 26 per cent more at risk.

We tested three products to help keep your sleep on track as the clocks go forward

So today, as the clocks change, I look at ways to keep sleep on track.

CAPSULES

THE capsules from Revive Active contain two of my favourite sleep aids – Montmorency cherry and magnesium bisglycinate.

The tart cherry is thought to increase melatonin levels in the body, promoting better quality sleep.

Revive Active Sleep capsules: 60 capsules, 7 active ingredients including magnesium, Montmorency cherry, chamomile and lavender. Two capsules per day.
Revive Active's capsules contain both Montmorency cherry and magnesium bisglycinate.

Magnesium is great for sleep, and these capsules – which also contain calming chamomile and lavender – use the type that is softest on your stomach.

I popped two before bed and they definitely boosted my quality of sleep without that groggy feeling in the morning.

Daily use is said to contribute to better concentration, too.

£24.95 per box – 60 capsules. £0.83 a day reviveactive.com.

DIFFUSER

WELLBEING brand Neom has released a mini version of its best-selling diffuser.

The Neom Wellbeing Pod Mini has no water tank and lasts long

The Neom Wellbeing Pod Mini is dinky but packs a punch, throwing out a scent in minutes.

Simply put your favourite oil scent inside for whatever mood you’re trying to achieve and it is converted into micro-fine vapour.

I loved that this has no water tank, like other diffusers do, and once charged, it lasted a decent amount of time.

I had it in the living room before bedtime and used Neom’s Perfect Night’s Sleep essential oil blend with lavender, sweet basil and jasmine for relaxation. Blissful.

Currently on offer for £46.75 at boots.com.

CHOCOLATE POWDER

YOUTH & Earth’s Sleep Dust hot chocolate is infused with Ecuadorian cacao that is “ceremonial grade”; – high-grade and traditionally produced.

This hot chocolate contains Reishi extract and L-theanine to help relaxation

The drink also has traditional botanicals and modern nutrients to aid peaceful, restorative sleep.

Nutrients include Reishi extract and L-theanine for relaxation; valerian root extract and 5-HTP to enhance sleep quality; honokiol, which is from the bark of magnolia trees, to ease anxiety; and magnesium, ashwagandha and B vitamins for your nervous system.

This tasted great. I had it an hour before bed and had a deep, solid sleep.

I love the fact it is just 42 calories per 12g sachet, too.

From £35.99 for 28 sachets, youthandearth.com.
