Well if it's good enough for Khloe...

Insomnia is the worst and if you've ever spent hours tossing and turning trying to get to sleep, you'll know just how tough it is. It's difficult to find something that actually works and this is coming from someone who has tried a million different body lotions, sprays, and oils. However, when a celebrity shouts about a product, people tend to sit up and listen and the latest recommendation comes from Khloe Kardashian and this "roll-on" sleep oil. In a post on her app about what helps her nod off at night, Khloe swears by L'Occitane's Lavender Roll-On Relaxing Essential Oil, £12 (€14.20). Chatting about her nighttime essentials, Khloe wrote:

"I wanted to share a pretty intimate part of my life with my app subscribers: the essentials I must have in my bedside table! Some of the stuff is expected (hand cream and reading glasses), but other items like my Hot Tamales, (chewy, cinnamon flavored, oblong-shaped candy FYI) are essential, too!"

As I said, I'm a self-confessed insomniac who has tried a lot of things to put and end to sleepless night tossing and turning and another product that does what it says on the tin is The Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray (starts at €20-€33, depending on version and price). You simply put it on your pillow before you go to sleep and the blend of lavender, vetivert, and wild chamomile soothes and calms the mind and body. It's no surprise that both products contain lavender because it is one of the most relaxing fragrances there is.
