Sleep, wake, repeat. Read all about how our friends optimize their surroundings, unwind, and relax the mind for a good night—every night.

We sat down with Sophie Collins, wellness enthusiast and creative director of One Wednesday, a female-founded company that creates high quality products to elevate your everyday life.

Double, Queen, or King? 

We luckily upgraded to a King last year and have never looked back!

Why is a good night’s sleep important to you? 

 

To me, a good night's sleep is the foundation of absolutely everything in life. If you start with that, you’re able to make the best choices to support yourself when it comes to nutrition, mental health, your career and your family. I’m obsessed with feeling my best and it definitely starts with sleep!

 

How many hours of sleep do you get a night—or at least dream of getting? 

 

8-10!

 

Are you a dreamer? 

 

Sometimes- I’ve gone back and forth for the last few years. My dreams rarely seem to mean anything (except for a few really incredible ones I’ve had).

 

 

What’s currently on your bedside table? 

 

 

I love this question. I actually have a bedside table series on IG where I share my bedside table essentials!

 

What’s on mine:

• Our One Wednesday candle - I’m loving our new Radiance collection that I light when I’m meditating or reading 
• Arrae sleep capsules - I have a code which is SOPHIE15 for your readers!
• Vitruvi humidifier and diffuser - my code is SOPHIECCOLLINS10
• The crystal belt I wore around my waist on my wedding day
• My Valentine’s Day card from my husband
• My journal from STIL
• My kindle
• My Mejuri x Claude home vessel for my favorite pieces of heirloom jewelry 
• Laneige sleep mask
• Silk sleep mask
• Ear plugs
• Mouth tape 
• My seed capsules which I take first thing on an empty stomach - my code is SOPHIEC15
• My Better Basics water bottle 

 

Do you partake in any nightly routine before settling into bed? 

 

I stop looking at screens right when I get into bed (other than my kindle). I take my supplements - magnesium and zinc, and then settle in and read until I fall asleep! My amaaazing Naturopath Dr. Bobby Parmar also has me on a supplement called Relax Max. It helps soothe my pre-bedtime anxiety. 

And lighting my One Wednesday candle while I’m doing my skincare, it really just calms me down for the night. 

Tell us about where the magic happens—and by magic, we mean sleep. How do you optimize your sleep environment? 

• ear plugs
• mouth tape
• my humidifier 
• eye mask + blackouts
• a pillow between my legs 

If you feel a restless night coming on, is there anything you do to help get you through the night without waking?

 

Yes!  Arrae sleep capsules. Getting off my phone. Maybe a little meditation or mantra work with our candle lit. 

What kind of pillows do you use to keep your head in the clouds? 

 

Love Casper!

Last but not least, what is your number one piece of can’t-sleep-without advice? 

 

Read before bed. It’s such a hack to increase how much you read and allows you to escape and get out of your head!
