Tranquillity, a new line from British company Neom (one that Kate Moss swears by), has but one thing on its agenda -- to help you catch some much needed Zzzs.
Working with Britain's
Sleep Council, Neom has combined the highest legal limits of sleep-inducing lavender, basil and jasmine to help ensure that you slip right off into slumber land, unencumbered by the day's stresses and complications.

here -- and, bonus, unlike a lot of British-based businesses, Neom does ship to the U.S. (Just check out the

Are products, lavender-based or not,
required to achieve a good night's sleep? Of course not, though they have been proven to help.
Here, via the Telegraph.co are some tips from the Sleep Council about how to maximize your REM time;
- Prepare a milky drink or herbal tea before bed - avoid caffeine at all costs
- Don't use alcohol to help you nod off - although it helps you drift off initially, it interferes with sleep patterns.
- Regular, exercise can help undo the day's stresses. Just don't work out too close to bedtime or you may be too amped up to nod off.
- Resolve any arguments before bed. Ongoing conflicts will do anything but put you in the right frame of mind for a restful night.
