As a nurse and a person who has suffered from insomnia in my past- I care A LOT about sleep hygiene. I practice what I preach and I teach many of my own techniques to my patients, clients, family and friends! Here is my compiled list of my favourite items that truly make it for my sleep

Winter can be hard—especially when you’re balancing work, family, and everyone else’s needs while trying to keep your own energy, mood, and motivation intact. Short days, cold weather, and constant routines can quietly wear you down, and seasonal depression or winter slumps are more common than we admit. This list is a collection of small, supportive things that genuinely help me get through the darker months until spring feels close again. Nothing extreme, nothing unrealistic—just practical comforts, mood-boosting tools, and gentle habits that make winter feel a little lighter and more manageable. These are products and ideas that help with energy, sleep, motivation, and emotional well-being, especially for busy women and moms who don’t have the luxury of slowing life down when winter hits. Think warm light, movement, cozy routines, and small moments of care that add up over time. If winter affects your mood, focus, or overall sense of yourself, you’re not alone—and you don’t need a complete overhaul to feel better. These are the things that help me hold steady, feel supported, and make it through to spring one day at a time.
