I would love nothing more than to say this duo of aromatherapeutic solutions worked for me but sadly that was not the case. As many will know I am a little hung up on sleep aide products at the moment and had high hopes for the This Works Dream Team duo after all the praise it has received from fellow bloggers but for me it is just another over hyped set of products.
This Works Dream Team duo consists of both a Deep Sleep Pillow Spray and Stress Less roll on oil product. The Deep Sleep Pillow spray despite being tinged with notes of lavender and chamomile had a definite spicy scent and was not at all pleasant, needless to say the idea of spraying my bed linen with this product was a little daunting but I give it a whirl anyway. After 10 minutes between the sheets the spicy scent did not subside and I gave up, got up and changed the linen...not exactly the start to a restful night of sleep is it? The Stress Less roll on oil has a strong eucalyptus scent and is not bad at all, I wouldn't agree with the worry less aspect nor would I say it had a calm and restful promoting property but if you have a cold it does clear the sinuses.
Sadly I have to say out of all the sleep and rest promoting products I have tried over the last few months this has to be the weakest out of the bunch and I'm overjoyed that I did only purchase the mini sizes.
I am a tad disappointed in the duo but I am glad it works for others, you'd think I'd be put of by the brand but nope I have ordered the sleep balm to see if that fairs any better.
I guess the search for my perfect bedtime product line up continues!

I found the Sleep Balm and the Turbo Balm at TKMaxx, £3.79 each in a christmas cracker, obviously seasonal stock! :)
ReplyDeleteI got the full sized duo just before Christmas and honestly didn't think it would work for me but it does. I'm sure it's all down to placebo but I don't mind aslong as I'm getting a decent nights sleep.
ReplyDeleteLavender kills me, I can't stand the scent and totally agree with your description of the pillow spray. The only way I can get it to work for me rather than cause me a splitting headache and the urge to throw up is to only do 2 light sprays half an hour - hour before getting into bed.
Can't wait to hear how you get on with the balm, I haven't tried it yet.

Such a shame these don't work for you, I love them! All is not lost, use the rollerball at times of stress or worry, it's very calming.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame these haven't worked for you but I still really want to try them because i sleep so badly and am willing to give anything a go! xxx

Aw thats a shame it didn't agree with you. I picked this exact set up in Boots in the sale for £6.66 (ooh thats quite worrying - 666!!!) But I love both products. I give my pillow one spritz about ten mins before I get into bed and really like the smell. The rollerball smells lovely and I feel like it clears my nose a bit, I do find the smell fades fairly quickly. Does it help me sleep - I can't be sure but it certainly smells nice!! Hope the balm works better for you.
ReplyDeleteI recently bought the Body Shop's Deep Sleep pillow mist and while it might just be a placebo, I do seem to be drifting off a little easier lately. Pity about This Works though, I've heard so many people say good things about them but the price has always stopped me!
