Calming Aids & Remedies
Calm Carry
View on AmazonAlchemists Recommend: The Calm Carry Sleep Aid is a newer tool we’ve been experimenting with, and it’s fair to say it’s a bit like Marmite — you’ll either love it or not get on with it at all. Some of us found the pressure too much – Nicky is quite sensitive, and Sally couldn’t use it with her pacemaker. While Charlotte and Ben absolutely loved the effect and felt it really supported their sleep. If you’re curious, it’s definitely worth a try to see which camp you fall into.

Light Therapy Lamp
View on AmazonCharlotte Recommends: SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) lamps can improve sleep quality and overall well-being, especially during darker months. These lamps mimic natural sunlight, emitting bright light that helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythm and melatonin production. By using a SAD lamp for 20-30 minutes each morning, users can effectively reset their internal clock, leading to more consistent sleep patterns and improved mood. The lamp’s 10,000 lux light intensity stimulates the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation and sleep-wake cycles. This can alleviate symptoms of seasonal affective disorder, boost energy levels, and enhance daytime alertness. Regular use hepls with better sleep onset, reduced sleep disturbances, and a more refreshed feeling upon waking.

Meditation Machine
Buy DirectCharlotte Recommends: When I was teaching myself to sleep again after years of insomnia, one of the biggest challenges was getting my brain to properly switch off and settle into rest. Traditional meditation didn’t come naturally to me at the time, so using a meditation machine became an incredibly helpful bridge. These devices combine rhythmic light and sound patterns to help guide the brain into calmer, more relaxed states. What I found particularly useful was that it gave my mind something structured to focus on, which made it much easier to disengage from overthinking and gradually build healthier sleep patterns and nervous system responses. I used mine consistently for around three months and genuinely noticed a huge shift — my sleep increased from roughly three hours a night to closer to seven. Over time, I found my body became better at accessing those calmer states naturally, even without relying on the machine every night. For me, this is a great example of how supportive tools can help you create new habits and nervous system patterns, especially during periods where your mind and body need a little extra support reconnecting with rest.

Red Light Therapy Device
View on AmazonCharlotte Recommends: Red and near-infrared light therapy is something I tend to use more during periods where my body feels depleted, inflamed, slower to recover, or particularly affected by the darker winter months. Many people explore red light support for recovery, energy, skin health, inflammation, and overall wellbeing support. What I personally love about this device is that it feels like a very gentle, consistent form of support rather than something extreme or invasive. Especially during winter, when natural light exposure drops and energy levels can feel lower, I find it helps create a sense of warmth, restoration, and daily nourishment for both body and mind. Like many tools within wellbeing, I think the key is consistency and noticing how your own system responds over time. For me, it’s become one of those simple practices that helps me feel more supported during periods where my body needs a little extra care and recovery.

Sleep Machine
View on AmazonCharlotte Recommends: For many people the consistent soothing audio backdrop helps them to relax lowering heart rate and blood pressure which are essential for easing into sleep. The consistent sounds can also help distract from stress, and mask other disruptive noises. This approach has been proven to prolong deep sleep phases.
