The £8 body lotion insomniacs swear by
When you can't sleep at night, you feel like you're the only person in the world still awake. Lying there recounting every embarrassing thing you've ever done in your whole entire life and refreshing your Instagram for the third time, wondering why no one is posting a marble flat lay at 3am.
Just one sleepless night is enough to drive me into total meltdown, so my thoughts go out to the insomniacs of this world.
If you've tried everything in the way of sleep aids, there might just be one more product left to try, one that Reddit users have been swearing by.

And it's not just Reddit, the Lush website is also filled with raving Sleepy reviews:
"I used to take anxiety medication for 11 years and had to stop recently which was pretty terrible. But I found that using and smelling Sleepy can help my anxiety not be as bad. It's such a relaxing scent and I love using it!" - jesssicaaalynne
"Smells amazing!! It actually works! I was skeptical at first but it actually works!" - celestenoelle
"One sleepless night, when I was at the end of my tether, I found myself slathering this all over my upper body and dabbing a small amount onto my temples - hopeful that it just might do the trick. It did.. The scent surprised me, yes there was definitely a big lavender hit, but (to me) this smells sweeter, yet bitter - like burnt sugar (in the best way possible). I soon found myself having a wonderfully restful nights sleep. I am now a lavender convert! Would highly recommend this product." - Lotilumps

In fact Sleepy has proven so popular that Lush made it a permanent item in their line after originally only releasing it as limited edition.
Sleepy is available in two sizes (95g, £7.95 and 215g, £13.95) and is available from Lush online and in store.
