Knee Pillow
View on AmazonCharlotte Phelps: Using a knee pillow can significantly reduce pain by promoting proper spinal alignment during sleep. When placed between the knees, it helps maintain the natural alignment of the hips, pelvis, and lower back, which can alleviate pressure on the spine and reduce strain on the lower back muscles. This improved alignment can lead to decreased pain and stiffness, particularly for those with lower back issues, sciatica, or hip pain, by distributing weight more evenly and reducing stress on joints and muscles throughout the night. I like to like on my right side, so put my left leg on this pillow and it really helps reduce my lower back stiffness and pain.

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.

Magnesium – Epsom Salts
View 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)

Magnesium Oil Spray
View on AmazonCharlotte Recommends: Magnesium plays an important role in pain management and inflammation reduction, and magnesium oil offers a unique way to deliver these benefits directly through the skin. When applied topically the digestive system is bypassed allowing for more efficient absorption. The topical application can be particularly beneficial for localised pain and muscle tension, as it helps reduce inflammation and promote muscle relaxation right where it’s needed. Some users report relief from restless leg syndrome and nocturnal leg cramps when applying magnesium oil to their feet before bed. I also use mine for endometriosis and menstrual abdominal pain

Meditation Machine

The use of light waves and sounds ways force the brain in a way that create a new habit so over time you are able to enter the state without the machine. I used mine daily for about 3 months and my sleep went from 3 to 7 hours a night.
