Summer brings light, warmth, and energy—but it can also disrupt our rest. Whether it’s later sunsets, changing schedules, travel, or the general excitement of the season, getting consistent, high-quality sleep becomes more of a challenge. At Scentered, we believe restful sleep starts with slowing down—creating space to unwind, breathe deeply, and transition gently into night.

Here are five of our favourite ways to sleep well this summer, inspired by both nature and science, and rooted in simple, intentional rituals.

 

1. Start With a Scentered Sleep Set Ritual

Our Ultimate Luxury Sleep Set is designed to transform your evenings into a sanctuary of calm, wherever you are. It includes our best-selling Sleep Well Balm, Sleep Well Candle, luxurious Bathrobe, and Silk Eye Mask, all crafted to ease tension, quiet the mind, and signal to your body that it’s time to rest. Together these essentials support a consistent and soothing bedtime routine, built around scent, stillness, and self-care.

2. Keep It Cool

One of the most overlooked elements of sleep? Temperature. Hot summer nights can easily disrupt deep sleep, so making your bedroom a cool, restful retreat is key. Try breathable cotton sheets, a lightweight duvet, and—if needed—a small fan to keep air circulating. Taking a cool shower before bed can also help lower your core temperature and prime your body for rest.

 

3. Embrace a Digital Wind-Down

It’s tempting to doom scroll before bed, but screens and sleep rarely mix. The blue light emitted by phones, tablets, and TVs can delay melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep. Instead, try setting a "tech curfew" 30–60 minutes before bed. Use that time for a screen-free activity like reading, journaling, gentle stretching, or listening to calming music—anything that helps signal to your brain that the day is done. Incorporating mindful self-care products into this window, like a relaxation balm for recovery, can amplify the effect and help your body shift naturally into rest mode.

 

4. Make Your Bath Part of the Ritual

One of the most luxurious ways to reset your body and mind before bed is a warm evening soak. Add a few drops of Scentered’s Sleep Well Body & Bath Oil to the tub and let the calming aroma of Lavender, Ylang Ylang, and Geranium envelop you. Not only does this help relax sore muscles and soften your skin, but the ritual itself becomes a form of active self-care—one that gently cues the transition from movement to stillness, from day to night. For those seeking a sleep balm for restful nights, this is the perfect pairing.

 

5. Support Rest with Wearable Technology

For those moments when your mind just won’t stop, TouchPoint Solutions wearables offer real-time stress relief - perfect for home or on-the-go.

TouchPoints are innovative, neuroscience-based wearables designed to help you manage stress, improve focus, and sleep better—naturally. Using a technique called bi-lateral alternating stimulation-tactile (BLAST), TouchPoints gently vibrate on alternating sides of the body to influence how your brain processes stress. This helps rebalance your nervous system—reducing cortisol levels, calming the mind, and activating the body’s natural relaxation response.

Whether you're struggling with racing thoughts at bedtime, afternoon overwhelm, or general restlessness, TouchPoints offer fast, effective relief without medication or side effects.

For sleep, simply wear the devices on your wrists or clip them to your waistband or shirt about 15–30 minutes before bedtime. Many users feel calmer within seconds and fall asleep faster, with fewer night-time wakeups and more restorative sleep cycles.

 

 

Rest is a Ritual—Make It Yours

There’s no single formula for perfect sleep, but small choices add up. From scent and sensation to temperature and tech, each element plays a role in how you rest and restore. Whether you’re searching for the best relaxation balm for stress or new tech tools to support your sleep routine, this summer we invite you to create your own calming ritual—one that feels supportive, nurturing, and truly yours.

Here’s to deeper sleep, softer nights, and more mindful moments.
