BioCare Magnesium Malate
BUY ON AMAZONCharlotte Recommends: Magnesium plays an important role in pain management and inflammation reduction. It acts as am antagonist to NMDA receptors which attenuates pain hypersensitivity.

Black Out Blinds
BUY ON AMAZONCharlotte Recommends: Blackout blinds are highly effective for improving sleep quality by creating a completely dark environment, which is helps the body to produce melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep. By blocking out external light sources such as streetlights or early morning sunlight, blackout blinds help maintain a natural circadian rhythm, allowing youn to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Particularly beneficial for shift workers, young children, or anyone living in brightly lit areas. I used this with my foster kids and also take them on holiday in the summer to avoid the early morning sunshine reducing my 7hours of sleep!

Black Out Eye Mask
BUY ON AMAZONCharlotte Recommends: if a blackout blind isn’t possible and you don’t mind something on your head then this mask is my recommendation. The design means there is no contact on eye lashes (which irritate me and stop me being able to sleep with it on). The blocking out of light helps the body release sufficient melatonin to initiate sleep and allows you to sleep longer in the summer months with early sun rises.

Blue Light Filter Glasses
BUY ON AMAZONCharlotte Recommends: Blue light, especially from electronic devices, interferes with sleep by suppressing the production of melatonin. This type of light has a short wavelength and high energy, which can trick our brains into thinking it’s still daytime, disrupting our natural circadian rhythm. Blue light filter glasses are beneficial to wear in the evenings because they block or reduce the amount of blue light reaching our eyes. By wearing these glasses, you allow your body to naturally produce melatonin as the day progresses into night, helping to maintain a healthy sleep-wake cycle.

Epsom Salts – 10KG
BUY ON AMAZONCharlotte Recommends: Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulfate) are great in baths as the magnesium absorbs through the skin to help get deep into the muscles relaxing them. I have 1 every other day to help with the aches and pains of daily life. You need to make sure you have a reasonable amount of it to get the benefit (this is the most common reason why it people feel no effect – you can sprinkle it you need a good couple of coffee mug sized scoops!) I get 10kg a month to ensure every bath is adequately dosed. (Note I do this on amazon subscription so I save)

Good Neck Pillow
BUY ON AMAZONCharlotte Recommends: Cervical contour memory foam pillows are recommended for improving sleep quality and managing pain due to their ergonomic design, which supports proper spinal alignment and reduces strain on the neck and upper back. The memory foam conforms to the head and neck, distributing pressure evenly and minimizing pressure points, which helps prevent numbness and discomfort. I like this one as it accommodates various sleep positions.
